Well.  That was the easiest knee needle I've *ever* had.
She injected the whole tiny bottle into the inseam side of my knee and
explained that when the joint is very inflamed the bursa/sac can get painful
as well.  To be honest, I'm still not entirely sure what she meant so I need
to find some anatomy diagrams but I trust her and my imagination has my knee
feeling better already.
After almost a week of mobic the inflamation has completely cleared in my
right knee and it feels terrific, aside from the popcorn noises coming back.
At least the inflamation let me walk quiretly for a it. ;)    My left knee
still feels a little inflamed and has that walking on bone feeling that I
love so much.  Not!  :)  So next week I start another round of orthovisc for
my left knee and just keep an eye on the right one and I'm pleased with that
approach.

Thank you so much to those who replied last week when I was in so much
pain - it made the past week easier

Jeez, I had the cortisone this morning and I feel ready for a gentle walk
this evening - surely cortisone can't work *that* fast?
