Anyone had steroid injections

[soulman101]

Just got an appointment to have my big toe injected. They going to use a scan to guide it, hate injections.
Wish they would take it off like my other one and get of the pain for good.

I didn’t want to have a general with my operation in April due to fear - the brutal GP said don’t be stupid as you could go to sleep tonight and not wake up!

Having it off in old age gets better and better though 😇

My last 3 opps have been while I was awake, due to having strokes and angina, enjoyed watching them. But hate the needles.

Surely they’ll freeze the toe so that you don’t even feel it?

I don’t like blood being taken so I just close my eyes and sob gently, that seems to work.

A lot of people don’t realise how critical the big toes are to our balance, I knew a bloke who’d had both big toes removed and he walked like he’d s h I t himself!

Be careful what you wish for Lloyd!

Hi Mick, when i walk my dog round the block, I can only walk round anti clockwise. If I go the other way I tend to fall over.

You’ll fall over a lot more with no toes Lloyd, you need to fight to keep it.

The pain is unbearable, they wake up in the night and I have to wear 2 pairs of thermal socks.
I can walk round in the winter in a teeshirt, yet even in the heatwave have to wear socks in bed.

I have had an injection in the same toe twice due to pain from arthritis. I did not find it painful at all and he fu**ed the first one up and missed the spot so had to do it again. The first time it gave me nearly 12 months almost pain free but the second one I had was not quite so successful and I started to get pain again after about 4 months. I cannot move that big toe it is seized up totally.
