Hi @A MyChronicPainTeam Member if Zilretta is the same as quartazone injections then I have tried them. In the UK they usually give a total of 3 injections . I have had them in my knees, and one of my shoulders. The first injection often works for a number of weeks. The second injection tends to be less effective and for a much less time span. In each case I've found that the third injection is a total waste of time as it's not worked at all. I should of said that the quartazone injections are meant to give initially total pain relief for a number of weeks. This just hasn't ever been my experience. I do experience chronic nerve pain in a number of parts of my body but it stems from my lower spine. I suspect this may have something to do with the lack of success. I hope you have more success with your injections.
I hhave tried several shots in my knee. So far no help at all. Monday im going for something called a Double D. No clue whats in it. I just know it better last longer than the trip home. About 45 minutes. My fricken insurance(Medicaid) actually saz im too young for a replacement! Thats the first time in a very long time ive been told im too young for anything! Lol! Lets hope this one works!
I think you mean Cortisone?
thanks for the input. I was looking for that "magic bullet", trying to avoid double knee replacement and hip. looks like that's my route in the future.
