A month, two x-rays, three doctor visits (including the emergency room), and several pain pills later, I finally got a cortisone shot for my elbow. The shot itself wasn't that bad, but the PAIN that came afterward was in a word painful.
My doctor gave me the shot yesterday morning and I'm feeling a little better right now. He said the steroid doesn't start kicking in until today. In the meantime, I've been instructed to rest my elbow--no tennis, no golf, no weights, no a lot of things. My doctor even said not to shake hands, open doors or jars with my right hand. It's going to be an interesting few weeks...
