I have arthritis all over tho it is worst in my left shoulder.
My Dr. gives me cortisone shots every few months. It helps a little but other than that I have no other effects from it. He did say he could not give them too often.
I have Spinal Stenosis,Arthritis,Diabetes and about everything else. My Doctor told me he could get me relief for about everything but my Arthritis. I grin,TAKE EVERYTHING HE TELLS Me and thank the Lord everyday,he has been better to me than I really deserve. Look around and someone else is in worse shape than us but pain does get tough a times.
