Cortisone injection

It seemed like the electric shock pains were easing after the cortisone injection. The pain got very 'muddy' - I couldn't tell what was hurting where and the morphine was doing very little, but for five days the electric shocks were subdued.

Now they're back. They started ramping up again last night and now they're back to 'normal'.

The fact that they eased proves I was right that they were caused by the nerves being trapped by the inflammation. The injection obviously took the inflammation down and released the nerves. Now it's coming back up again.

So the injection did work - for 5 days, and the pain stayed so bad that it was completely pointless.
