Well, I could have run for it, but the relief is so wonderful this morning I want to send him a thank you note. My ankle has been bad since the beginning of symptoms, the first joint to bite the dust, and I am so tired of hobbling! I did ask him if this meant I could dance again - - and he told me what my sister always tells me, "Hey, if you couldn't dance before you can't dance now"
I've had shots into my palm before and that always makes a huge difference, straightens out my fingers and usually lasts about a year. This time who knows? But I'm going on a cruise (yea!) in January and if all goes well perhaps Mr. Cane can stay in the closet - - even if it means getting another shot right before the cruise. The thing about the ankle is it puts my gait off which causes muscle spasms in my lower back, because on Arava the inflammation is now under control but the pain is still there if I overdo stuff, and that, according to rheumy and foot doctor, is because I walk "funny." Interesting experiment, we'll see how it goes.
