You're thinking of the walk in centre I think. They can do them, but I never go to Ashton as it costs too much to go by bus. Can't ride the day you have injections either so that's out of the question.Lost Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246425421451507874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733433823042631919.post-91266274294611344232009-11-23T18:35:53.794+00:002009-11-23T18:35:53.794+00:00There is a place in Ashton that does Cortizone inj...There is a place in Ashton that does Cortizone injections - nr Town Centre :) (obviously you'd have to be referred)Jobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351415733437528273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733433823042631919.post-13363144634590859162009-11-19T12:29:59.454+00:002009-11-19T12:29:59.454+00:00Joby - already had them.

They're also not very pleasant to have as you can feel the needle going right into the centre of the joint - it feels disgusting. My GP surgery can't do them, so it'd mean a trip to the MRI which is a long way to go for it.<br /><br />Red - the shoulder problems are a lifelong thing to do with my genetic problem, so we can discount that one as an injury ;o) The knee thing was a result of a wanker boyfriend who didn't like being dumped. <br />I think it is at the point now where something really needs to be done. Hopefully.<br /><br />Richard - That's along the lines of how my knee is getting to be now. Although it is major surgery, it is something that I hope will be done. I was told 4yrs ago for a knee joint it'd be about 5-6 yrs before it wears out, and that was dependent on my not doing so much exercise - at the time I was playing racquet sports, cycling and football regularly an dhave drastically cut down to just cycling and walking now and then.<br /><br />To all - thanks for your support peeps :oD I'll update once I've been to the docs on Friday morning.Lost Sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246425421451507874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733433823042631919.post-81882559342626575122009-11-16T21:04:55.201+00:002009-11-16T21:04:55.201+00:00Its not quite the same I know, but I had a bad sho...Its not quite the same I know, but I had a bad shoulder for years, terrible pain, constantly. Eventually I had the whole joint completely replaced, the result was fantastic, better than new and absolutely no pain. That was seven years ago, the estimate at the time was 12-15 years till it wore out again, but I am not worrying about it. I have full movement and strength in it. The doc told me this kind of joint replacement is fantastic for pain relief.<br /><br />Not sure this helps you, but good luck at the docs.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15535204665820219751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733433823042631919.post-52515326640865535902009-11-16T16:21:05.683+00:002009-11-16T16:21:05.683+00:00Knee pain is rubbish!
