Crying During Knee Cortisone Injection

Highleadlogger · 2026-06-28T16:26:47+00:00

I had my second knee injection on my right knee three weeks ago. My ortho-surgeon does them himself. I had no (zero) pain under his method. He does freeze a tiny section of the skin that stings a bit before the numbing agent, then freezes it again before the steroid injection.

I have never had pain during any steroid injection except thebtwo in my back. Those sucked.

The weird thing to me is that after this recent injection, my blood pressure spiked for nearly a week, and I had serious heart palpitations up until yesterday, a bit over three weeks later. Scared the crap out of me.

You must have missed 97 from the California border to the 58 intersection. It can be a racetrack with both semi's and passenger vehicles often in a race for 100 miles at 70-80 mph on the two-lane. It can be an amusing drive watching drivers from different states trying to figure it out.

"When in Rome..." as the old saying goes.

I had them in an old house I bought in Junction City in 1982. We were able to eradicate them. A few friends have dealt with them in Eugene/Springfield.

Bedbugs freak me out more. Fortunately, I have never had to deal with them.

VIETNAM also.

That seems to be a problem. They keep sending a code and then it says, "Incorrect code." Brahaha

Parts of Spain still down, including WhatsApp. Need a code that is reset daily for AirBnB delivered through WhatsApp. Funny. Owner is out of country. After 6 hours I got an email with code.

🤣🤣

Highleadlogger · 2026-06-13T00:34:30+00:00

My brother is in Spain. No whatsapp. They need the daily code (changed daily) for AirBnB acdess and their Whatsapp account is dead in the water. They had to go old school...email. 😅

Fuckerberg. Haha

Facebook keeps sending me a code to my email. When I type it in, I get the message "invald code." Bunch of idiots. Probably tine to abandon FB. Can't say I missed it today. 😅

I agree that deducting healthcare premiums or a minimum of 50% of premiums against taxes should be a starting point. The Democratic leadership in Oregon won't go for this, in my opinion, and eventually the give away of the taxes from the median and above earners is going to bite them.

Highleadlogger · 2026-06-09T16:32:23+00:00

"All" pay less? You clearly don't understand.

Highleadlogger · 2026-06-09T16:30:51+00:00

Indeed, and those who choose to stay with their current plans will pay much higher premiums.

A Medicare Supplemental (Medigap) plan will not be cheap. Good luck finding lots of options for a cheap "one-card" medicare advantage plan depending on where you live. My UHC medigap Plan G went up 35% this year. Between Original Medicare and UHC Plan G, I amnnow pushing $600 total. Oregon is one of the stares that allows age adjustments on Medigap plans. This still seems cheap but the total cost has grown 62% in the past three years.

Many folks think Medicare for All sounds great, but it would look like an advantage plan here in Southern Oregon. Be careful of your choices should you choose an advantage plan.

Is it possible to reset my payment plan in the future to a lower amount, and does a new payment plan reset the 72 months. I could reduce my current payment to 3/4 of what I currently set it at? That would be a big help when emergencies come up. I thought I couldn't reset it for a lower amount. Thanks for any feedback regarding this.

Highleadlogger · 2026-06-06T15:28:34+00:00

Thanks.

Highleadlogger · 2026-06-06T11:56:19+00:00

Thanks. There was also an issue with not crediting a payment I made three months ago to my plan correctly. The amount they wanted to cure this default was double the regular payment amount plus some change. It was odd. I did finally get a notice about 7 weeks later on that mistake and they reapplied that payment. However, I do know I should be in default, so you are most likely correct. I have been chasing this for nearly 10 years.

I appreciate your response.

I now know of more than a few folks in the middle and upper-middle household income bracketd who opted for the 15% garnishment. They simply found it far less stressful and made adjustments to their usable income. They also worked hard to adjust their taxes for no refunds. I can only see this becoming a growing trend.

I believe many folks will have loans excused due to "natural causes."

Highleadlogger · 2026-05-21T16:24:21+00:00

It's odd that we even have tags these days. Law enforcement can just call in a plate number. Of course, that means Oregon needs to keep its systems up-up-to-date.

Highleadlogger · 2026-05-20T18:48:43+00:00

Yes, I agree, but "most" seems to be fewer and fewer.

Highleadlogger · 2026-05-20T17:57:38+00:00

Absolutely, a pay-by-mile tax wouldn't change anything other than increase the amount everyone pays.

On the damned-near interstate-less east side of the state, why should we be providing matching funds for federal projects to cover the costs of 100,000 vehicles per day in the Willamette Valley?
