Well I had to go back to the ER because my symptoms came back again. They gave me the whole IV cocktail again and sent me home with a ton of pills. Now pretty much all I do is sleep. Worst week ever. That sucks  - hope you get better soon, fella.
how long before the symptoms start to decrease without the need for a coctail of drugs? |

One week of prednisone then tapering for another week. The prednisone makes me very anxious and quasi paranoid. Thankfully they gave me some anxiety drugs too.

I feel very out of it still. Benadryl has helped keep me from not breathing but I've slept most of the days away since Wednesday. Ironically my knee feels great. |

You cried, so someone would offer to break a finger so you would forget about the toe? I think that's what your ortho did to you.  |

I just got a cortisone shot in my knee. They used a different type this time. I had it about an hour or so ago, but now am feeling SOB and my glands in my neck are tender. Is this normal? Guns are at the bottom of lake James, and my wife is mean. So no dibs. First, second, or third basin??? 
Hope everything is going well, hang in there! |

Are you really a physician? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
FINALLY SOMETHING I CAN HELP WITH!!!! Sounds like your body is processing the cortisone as if it were an infection and directing the steroids to your lymph nodes. This should not be a problem and may be how that individual steroid works (Every one is different). If they pain from your arthritis (generally what I would give cortisone for) is gone, then mission accomplished. Give it a few days for your lymph nodes to process everything. It could also be that you are about to get sick as an unrelated event. The lymphatic system deals with blood infections by bringing them to the lymph nodes where the infection can be dealt with and processed. I hope this helps! IM me if there are any farther issues! EDIT: I just read more of the post! That sounds like an anaphylactic reaction! ER time now. In the mean time, get benadryl in your system and call 911. At the hospital they will give you Epinephrine and lots of saline so I hope you are used to needles! Are you really a physician? That's exactly what I'm wondering... |

Holy crap, maybe next time stay away from doctors and deal with some knee pain. All I initially wanted them to do at the doctors (ortho) was to drain my knee. They took 90cc of fluid out. I had ACL,MCL, oblique reconstruction in April. And was still having swelling. This PA that drained it was the a hole that put the steroid in(original reaction). Then the ER doc gave me the prentisone. Which again almost killed me. Actually feel fairly decent today as long as I keep up on the Benadryl, working a double to try and make up some hours. I think I'll sleep well tonight. |
