So the cortisone shot I got in my knee did help with the tightness, but now I have actual pain. Ironic, huh?
Worse than that, I am now getting HORRIFIC cramps in the leg where I got the shot (think worst charlie horse you ever got times ten), so bad that I can hardly sleep.
I hate not being able to sleep.
Turns out this is just one of those side effects that are worse than the thing they were treating you for in the first place. Remember, the doctor told me the worst that could happen was that the shot wouldn’t do anything. He was wrong.
