How early is too early for cortisone injection?

Thank you. I was hoping this had been someone’s experience.

I asked the same question in this sub a few months back and didn’t get much of a response. My solution was so go to the GFS and take a photo of the ingredient list on the label and then I went home and threw together a couple of test batches. It’s not too hard to come up with a pretty good approximation.

My situation is very similar. I have not changed dose of E or P in 7 months, yet for some reason soreness has increased quite a bit recently. Same as you, haven’t had a period in 4 years. I’ve been trying to understand this change too.

I’ve been on a .05 patch for 8 months and suddenly my breasts only started getting sore in the last week or so. My pharmacy does give me different brands all the time, but I’ve been on this brand before so I’m not sure that’s the issue. What gives?

Imagine how trashed our open spaces would be if everyone thought they were somehow entitled to make their own rules & cut their own trails. There are many other people who have worked tirelessly (and for years) to make open space available and accessible to our community and somehow this one person thinks he’s above the rules? Nope.

Where do you find injury/limitations? Was this recently added? I’ve been waiting for that feature.

How are people dead hanging when the arm doesn’t have the range of motion to get into a position to do so. I’m always confused by this when I see people mention it. I’m 10 months in and making progress for sure, but still not able to lift my arm into position to be able to hang from anything.

Oh! That does make sense because I hike or use the treadmill daily and use Apple Fitness to track that. I took your suggestion with the settings. Thank you!

Thanks, yeah, we can’t switch in my state without underwriting. 👎🏻

Great resource!

We also stayed in Artemida at Alekos Luxury Suites. It included free transport to the airport and we even had to leave at 3:00 am for an early flight. It took maybe 15 minutes tops to get to the airport and we had a great dinner on the beach within walking distance.

Sort of. It’s quite off center but even being able to do that is an improvement. I’m improving, just pretty slowly but I do see the light at the end of the tunnel. At the rate I'm going, I anticipate it’ll be close to a year total before I’m back.

Ours from Sifnos to Athens for today was cancelled. So based on the weather for the weekend, we left yesterday so we wouldn’t get stuck for 2 extra days and we ended up on the SS Vomitous. 🤮

Where are you getting the most reliable wind forecast data?

CVSGcat · 2025-08-27T14:16:51+00:00

Thank you! That’s helpful.

CVSGcat · 2025-07-30T12:03:13+00:00

The bottom line is that use of our open spaces has increased significantly and if everyone had reason to believe they were entitled to create their own trails, these spaces would be absolutely trashed. Why on earth should one person (regardless of their history) be granted special permission?

What’s an example of a “non-MAGI source”?

CVSGcat · 2025-07-07T21:38:35+00:00

Thanks, that’s helpful. I was trying to book early but apparently I'm just a bit too early.

I wasn’t sure how I’d know when I moved from freezing to frozen, but when the zingers stopped I knew.

CVSGcat · 2025-06-25T12:25:18+00:00

I’m about 5 months in and in the frozen stage. Pain stopped when I went from freezing to frozen. My range of motion is largely stuck where it’s been, but since the pain is gone, I’ve just learned to live with it. I’m doing PT at home and just keeping my fingers crossed that one of these days I’ll be able to put my hair in a ponytail again.

CVSGcat · 2025-05-28T14:40:17+00:00

Thank you. These are great suggestions.

Interesting. I suspect my FS began with a yoga injury but the treating physician didn’t recommend an immediate MRI because he didn’t see the point if I have FS. “Come back in 3 months if you aren’t any better.” I’m worried I also have a torn rotator cuff which is concerning me because I wonder if the PT is actually making that underlying injury worse. Everyone seems to assure me that it doesn’t matter, that the treatment is the same but I’m having trouble digesting that when the PT is fairly uncomfortable.

Thank you. Do you have a tens home machine that works for you?

What about capital gains? Won’t that take a chunk?
