I had my shoulder injection this morning. I have had dozens of steroid injections in the past, but they were always done by surgeons, and this time it was my pain management doctor, and he is NOT a surgeon.

He pulled out this BIG ass needle, and I said "no novacaine?" He said nope, there's plenty of lidocaine in with the steroid....I bit my tongue....and amazingly didn't feel a thing. He slid that thing in there like a pro, using ex-ray...or fluoroscope I think it's called. Felt the slightest pressure when he emptied the syringe, but I was so freaking happy, because I was expecting the worst. I've had lots of hip and spine injections and they all hurt like hell, and they used novacaine 1st too. I don't have much hope though as I got no instant relief, which I should have with lidocaine in there...We'll see what happens in the days to follow. Just glad it's over...I was hitting the vape cartridge as soon as I left his parking lot! Followed by the dry herb vape...It's a long drive :lol:

Thank you!

mysunnyboy said in the hand hurts the worst. I hope I don't find out! I really expected this to hurt, especially with no numbing agent, and it was sore AF to begin with. I was pleasantly amazed. I have to give the doc credit.,...he is good with a needle.

If that’s sodium carbonate (soda ash), pool pH-up might be cheaper.

Chemical Composition/Ingredients

The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals. Chemicals are associated with codes that define their health, physical and environmental hazards.This universal hazard communication system was developed to ensure that employers, employees and consumers are provided with adequate, practical, reliable and comprehensible information on the hazards of chemicals, so that they can take effective preventive and protective measure for their own health and safety.
The GHS classifications for chemicals associated with products in this database may be viewed by selecting the "Advanced" button on the Chemical Ingredients tables. Since this is a work in progress, GHS classifications may not be shown for all chemical ingredients.

    • Primary Chemical Name is the standard name assigned to a chemical substance.

      Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is a unique identifier for a chemical and its synonyms. CAS numbers identify the chemical, but not its concentration or specific mixture. CAS Registry Numbers are assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service, a division of the American Chemical Society. For more information: www.cas.org

      We have assigned ID numbers (with 6 leading zeros or nines, e.g., 000000-xx-x or 999999-xx-x) for blends and chemicals that do not have CAS numbers.

My wife has injections in her thumb and elbow and neck and back... sometimes two a month..... by her surgeon and by her pain management. She is should a trooper she never complains, always says that they do a great job but sometimes the shoots are more effective than at other times. I definitely think a couple of mm’s one way or the other makes a difference.

I hope you get relief soon.
