If you would like any other information please pm me. Don't want to bore everyone else with the details.

Lisa, no worries. This is a thread about cortisone shots and associated problems. So I don't think you'll be boring anyone if you go into detail here.
Most of us have knee problems or hip problems, or know someone who does.
10 years ago I would have found this thread tedious. I guess it's a sign of aging that I like to hear about solutions to medical problems.
I had cortisone shots in Sept. in both knees and they're still working, although wearing off a bit. My Family Doctor thinks I need arthoscopy surgery. However my Arthritis Doctor feels I can avoid surgery by having cortisone shots twice a year. The jury is out.
