good luck with it! assuming you'll be as happy with it this time as last.....maybe moreso as you know what to expect, and did medrol to preemptively.

so, is this something that must be repeated every so often (like cortisone injections)? or a few shots and it helps it last longer? or maybe the new drugs (enbrel) will make it unnecessary......hoping for the last one for you smile

you seem fine with doing it 6 months apart, and that's great smile for me, when the cortisone injections wore off in 6 months, having nothing to do with cortisone itself, to me that was just too short of a return. surprised the flector patches keep working and relieved they are not affecting my liver.
