Orthopod appointment lined up!

I was really surprised to get an email offering me an appointment in 11 days! Perfect! I work odd hours and six days on three days off so getting an appointment on a day off was almost a miracle!

I have been wondering whether a steroid injection would bring some relief? I have had one before in the same area. So painful compared to the ones just into tendon and muscle. It felt like someone was shoving a red hot screwdriver in between the bones. If it works then I can pull up my big girl pants and have one but I know it would only be temporary.

The surgeon is very forthright so I’m going to have to keep my head clear and not be bulldozed into doing something I don’t want. Hopefully I can take a support person with me.
