" If I had been warned that this could happen,I would not have gotton that injection!"
My poor degenerating right ankle has reached the point where it nearly bone to bone. It was injured in 1980 in a car accident and I'm have lived with limited range of motion and chronic pain since then. Nearly three decades.
Anyway my doctor suggested me to take some Cortisone injections to reduce the inflammation and pain.
One week after getting that cortisone shot in my old battered ankle, I had to be taken to the ER, I was running a high temperature and my ankle was swollen and was so painful that I couldn't put any weight on it.
I was attended to by two fine doctors, one of them a joint specialist. They confirmed that I was suffered from inflammation of my ankle, which i understood that it was one of the side effects of the cortisone injection.
If I had been warned that it could happen, I would not have gotton that injection, which was supposed to make my ankle less painful, not so painful when I'm on clutches.
