I got a cortisone shot in my knee today

Holy mother of God!!! Did that ever hurt!!

Not the needle. The "juice" finding it's way where it was supposed to go felt like flames racing through creekbeds in my knee. If I had been alone in the room, I might have cried out in pain. That hurt worse than childbirth! Almost as bad as a Kidney stone moving its way through the land of no return. Actually, pain for pain, I think it was worse, but with a Kidney stone, there is that fear factor too.

Of course, it only took about 10 minutes, but felt like forever, and I feel like a big baby.

Before the "event" Doc asked if I had ever had one before.
I said "Yes but not in my knee. Only in my heel for Plantar Fasciitus."
He said "Oh, this isn't nearly as painful as that."
I thought "whew! Then I can handle it."

I think he lied.
