Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / December 2007Anyone ever have cortizone shots in the neck?
Hello all! After another great rheumy visit during which I received yet another cort. shot in my thumb, he decided he wants me to see a physiatrist for possible shots in my neck. I am shuddering even to think about it. I've had many shots, shoulders, ankle, and many in my wrists and thumbs, but never in the neck. I was wondering if anyone here had them before and if so, a) did it hurt a lot and b) did it help? Thanks for any help, Char Char, I've had shots in both sides of my neck three times. My RD is so good at it. He rubs my neck with a wet swab and gets the needle in by the time he finishes with the swab. I hardly feel it. Gwen > Hello all!

It only lasted minutes, but it was not a good feeling for me. My shots were given close to the skull where most of my headaches originate. Nanny > Hello all!

My RD is verry good at it; he rubs the neck with alcohol swab and has the needle in by the time he moves the swab. It realy doesn't hurt, just a minor sting. And it has really helped me with the pain in my neck.
