got my cortisone shot yesterday, wish I'd done it sooner. Feeling much better and doctor said I could even start golfing again if I felt ok! Medical student, under the watch of my doctor, did the shot - her first one and it really hardly hurt. No one's talking about surgery of any kind at this point, mostly since my knee pain completely resolved after the last sprain 4 years ago. Maybe I should say "resolved as much as all my other joints." 5 years ago I never noticed my hips occasionally hurting for no reason - now I do.
I'm still planning on doing water aerobics, yoga and walking the 9 hole executive courses as soon as we get down to TV in a few short weeks. Maybe line dancing too. What fun it will be to have so many choices!
If those of you with joint issues haven't tried water aerobics yet, think about it. Really seemed to help me while I was there for a short time in Sept.
