I was recently at the RA clinic at Haywood Hospital in the monitoring section. All I wanted was a steroid injection. I've had several in the past. They take care of the pain quickly. I was given an injection, however it had no effect at all. A blood test would confirm if treatable amount is in my system. In the meantime I am in pain. I normally take herbal med + aspirin. However several weeks ago I had a 2 week attack of the flu and the meds are not holding the pain, consequently I need a steroid injection.
I would also like to add, that this clinic was full to capacity. Some patients even had to stand. At least three left, because the wait was so long. There was only one nurse working the clinic.
