I am in the military and have not had the best luck with the medical section. I am 23 years old & currently deployed. I have been having wrist pain for about 1 1/2 years and then about 6 months ago it started getting worse & worse and started affecting my forearm. I went in and did the physical therapy for awhile and then the Dr wanted to try a steroid shot. The one specifically giving it to me had to get guidance as to where to inject as he had never done it before. He injected the spot instructed but then took it upon himself to go above the elbow bone and poked in very quickly. Causing alot of pain for me, he pulled it out from that spot and reinserted it about 1/4″ higher. Now, the pain is so bad and strong I can barely even pull my pants up! There is significant swelling right where my nerve runs through the inside of the elbow and now the pain is all the way up to my shouler instead of just to the elbow. Is this serious or should I just let it run its course for awhile longer?

I’m tired of the meds that only give me 4 hours of pain free day. Physical therapy 3 times a week for months leaves me worse off that night and day after. Multiple problems leaves me with only a miracle left to fix me. Back injuries which causes leg problems and sitting up isn’t takin for granted any more either. In my head I see myself running but I wake up and it ain’t so. Just venting, please no sympathy I can’t stand that either. But if I were a horse what do you think? Would they have cloned me? Oh yes, I was something before the injuries. lol
The pain is still in my shoulder so the shot didnt work, and I am going to physical therapy for the pain. It seems reaccuring, but the red mark left from the shot is worrying me,
I’m writing a story with a character who is recovering after being shot twice in the upper abdomen. There’s muscle damage and one bullet hit the spleen, but otherwise, nothing vital. What type of physical therapy exercises would she undergo in her recovery?
I had surgery on my foot 3 months ago and apparently the Dr. sewed up a nerve during the surgery and I’m having pain.
I tried anti-inflammatories, pain meds, physical therapy and now 2 weeks ago he gave me a cortisone shot. It felt great the first week and now it feels the same as it did before the shot.
I thought cortisone is supposed to work for months? Is it possible it only helped me for a week?
Received a cortisone shot today on my right knee for a torn ligament 3 months ago. Knee was alot better with physical therapy last appt with dr today. Stated a cortisone shot will releive the rest of the swelling in my knee and gave me the shot. Knee feels like when I first hurt it, but worse. Can’t stand, walk, straighten or bend right leg. I am icing it. Is this pain normal? How long does this last?
