I am off to have one under Xray at the Hospital in my thumb joint at 5 this afternoon. Had 2 before so I know how much it hurts, and for only a short term benefit.
Would have preferred to have it done earlier so I didn't have all d to think about it.

I had a steroid injection into my spine to treat a slipped disc in the thoracic region. It was done in theatre under a local anaesthetic and was effective for a year- so well worth having.
