bptoo - The reason is that you shouldn't get the injections too close together is that the injectible cortisone is made in a depot (long acting) formulation. It is designed to release cortisone slowly. Getting shots too close together will raise the cortisone blood level (which, in essence, is like being under a lot of stress) and problems like the one's CQ and DE mentioned begin to occur.

So, were you able to trade that computer for something a little faster ..... say ..... an Apple II?
