Hello all!!
Hoping for some advice
I have an Ultra Sound injection booked in for Monday 7th on my right foot (which is actually not too bad)
I had one on my left foot which helped for a month or so
ANYWAY...the dilemma is that I am due to be going to New York for a holiday on 19th.
Do I go to the appointment and see if they will do the left foot (the bad one) instead of the right and hope I recover in time for my trip.... or do I re-arrange for when I am back and hope I can manage the pain for the week I am away? What are your thoughts please?
I would put it off till you return and wear trainers with gel heel pads in while on holiday you may even find the pain goes away it did with me after a couple of weeks wears the gel heel pads and they are so cheap on line, a couple of dollers from China. My problem was possibly due to tightening calf muscles after retiring and I have been doing stretching exercises as well but a life without pain is great although the knee will need another injection soon but that's another problem.
Olá Emily. Vou fazer uma injeção de esteróide na quinta-feira e vou viajar no sábado. Vou usar a bota ortopédica após a injeção até eu viajar, para não colocar muito peso nela. Já fiz três injeções anteriores, das quais tive efeitos colaterais apenas após a primeira, mas só para ter certeza, também vou imobilizar o pé com uma bandagem. Você pode não ter nenhum efeito colateral, mas apenas descanse o máximo possível após a injeção. Desejo-lhe todo o melhor.
Thanks guys :-). I did it. I'm just going to rest up now
Tudo de bom. Espero que você tenha um bom feriado.
Hello Emily. I have the exact same problem (not going to NY though) and I can tell you 100% they will not swap your injections over. You are only allowed to the the injections twice a year-three at the upmost. I have to just drug myslef up If I go anywhere once my injections have worn off. Good luck Denise
You were right! They wouldn't swap. I had the right one down so that SHOULD mean I only have to manage the pain in one for my trip
