- Thats the odd part hes supposed to be one of the best - but a year of cortisone shots..and no relief - Capstern Nov 26, 15:01 6
  - cortisone is for when they don't know how to treat the cause. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 15:03 3
    - well at the time made sense they thought it was inflamation in the tendons...so we did 3 in the top of the ankle - Capstern Nov 26, 15:07 2
      - inflammation caused by what? if it keeps coming back, they're treating it wrong. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 15:08 1
        
        Well now I know. Sigh. At this point we will see if comp will reopen the claim...they should - its degenrating and the MRI proves that and I will - Capstern Nov 26, 15:14
  - if you are getting a year of cortizone shots, he is not one of the best. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 26, 15:03 1
    - yeah he's not. after about 3 shots in the same area it just doesn't work anymore. Get a new doctor. -- nm - Remlik Nov 26, 15:04
- hilarious. - groiny Nov 26, 15:01 1
