A Cure for the Pain

As i woke up this morning all i wanted was a Vicodin. The pain in my thumb and wrist were screaming. I popped the pill with some toast n jelly, called my hand specialist referral and made the appointment. 1st available day was thursday 3-19... i took it, but wished for sooner. like today! oh well! I am horrified and nervous of getting the shot of cortisone in my hand. My grandma just had one a month or so ago and she said it hurt like hell! And the actual hand did also for a good week or so, thereafter!

I know tho that cortisone is not a cure. I had in once in my neck last year, well that pain as made its way back also.

I can not imagine getting these injections every 3 or 4 months until i build up a tolerance to the cortisone and then have to go under a damn knife. Nor do I want to become a hydrocodone junkie.
