I know....I had one since Thursday!
I decided to take a chance and get some cortisone shot into my knees. I was told a year ago that they need to be replaced. They have been a HUGE detriment in my weight loss, as the intense pain I have been in saps my strength and mobility. Also, the idea of them having deteriorated this far made me really sad and shameful.
I knew that after losing @ 50 lbs since June 1 that there had to be hope for me. I called the same Dr. and was told we would try cortisone
I felt kinda weird on Thursday after the shots, but I did feel a bit of relief. WELL..........
By the time I left work here on Friday, I was AMAZED. The absolute agony I felt with every step was GONE! They are still stiff, but that racking pain is gone!!!
I went to the gym Saturday morning and walked for 12 minutes and elypticalled for 18. I couldn't BELIEVE it. I ended up going to my car and having a good cry, just because it felt so good.
I know that part of the repsonsibility for this lies with me, because I have been intentional about my exercise and movement, even while in pain. But I also know that the power that our bodies have to forgive us comes from another place!
