Thanks Cam, Darkeyes and Bptoo for your replies and experience with this. It was an injection I got. I already had vicoden in my system too I forgot to mention. I had taken it early in the a.m. (probably 12 hours prior to doc visit) because of extreme pain before I saw the doc. I didn't get the rush you mentioned but felt a little "high". I also didn't hardly feel the shot when he said I would. Thanks for the info on it because he didn't tell me much but only to call him in a week if it's not better or call him right away if I feel worse. I wonder if this was the same type of shot I got in my spine last year but don't even know what that was. I felt "high" on that but even more so. It was supposed to last a month.

Darkeyes-you're right, there are lots of medicines out there for treatment. He gave me the shot after the muscle relaxers and antiinflamatories did not work. I thought I needed a new arm the pain was so intense and all over.

Bptoo--thanks, I got a new computer, too, recently. I'm glad it has the restore point part to it, too. I always wanted an Athlon.
