CORTISONE INJECTIONS I acknowledge there are many styles of every health protocol/sector and each Practitioner within, often has their own particular preferences/techniques. STARTED EARLY IN LIFE Persistent elbow problems particularly in my right arm, lead the doctor to recommend trying cortisone injections into the relevant elbow. I was probably about 10 or so years old because I remember getting one at 15 and I had decided by the time I got that one, that for all the cortisone injections injected into me over a few years, I had never really benefited for any good length of time from them and that it was going to be my least preferred option from then on. PAINFUL DURING AND AFTER Often the injections were very painful to receive - have fluid forced into an elbow joint is no fun - and often had to ‘rest that arm’ for 3-5 days afterwards. MEDICAL DEBATE The benefits of synthetic steriods such as cortisone have been debated in medical circles for decades - even the horse racing industry questions its ethicalness as well as its overall effectiveness. CARRIED-FORWARD WARINESS I feel that my experiences with cortisone injections underlies my overall questioning of the medical profession’s ‘over reliance’ on pharmaceuticals - yes pharma has it place, but not everywhere, anywhere and only that. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ (Back) To… ‘Therapies Tried’ List Page (Back) To… “S-P-C” Site Overview Map ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WARNING: “Self-Physi-Chiro” may make it easier for you to form positive changes within and to your health/life. “SteveKineez” ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ For whole site overview, visit … Steve “Kineez” SITE MAP Site-Wide Disclaimer and Copyright Notices
