Thanks Marion! I have been alternating resting and moving about. With some trips to the pool.
I'm just so worried about the shots as I don't want to cause further damage but realize I need to get the swelling under control so may not have a choice.
The pain actually is mostly in the swollen area, seems to me the tissue itself is just sore as hell and VERY angry. Not too much sciatica going on thank the lord.
Pain/discomfort seems to vary through out the day depending on how much I move around and such!
I am definitely thinking about going back to my past rhuemy for a second opinion as he's known me for over 20 years!
Thanks so much for reaching out I don't feel so alone any more!
