I've had considerable/disabling right knee pain for some weeks now. It looks like Bursitis and is a real bitch to train round. What confuses the hell out of me is that heavy squats/deads seem to cure it for a while??? almost like numbing it. I've been icing it up and popping Ibuprofen which helps a little but it's still present. My next step if having a steriod injection which will be done next week free of charge (friend of Wife) what's folks expeiences of having them, how affective did you find them?, and for how long?

Thanks.

A steroid injection will likely help. You can expect a pretty much painless procedure where they will prep the area with alcohol, give you some ice-cold numbing spray and then inject the steroids. Be aware that you will feel immediate relief as they use a mixture of lidocaine and a given steroid. This wears off after a couple of hours like the anesthesia wears off after getting a dental procedure. The steroids, however, will not begin to work until 24-48hr afterwards and if all goes well you can expect some substantial relief over the next few months. The thought of needles to the knee (or anywhere) bothers many people, but the fact is that it is very tolerable and nothing to worry about. Hope this helps.

03-05-2006 Steroid Injection Day

I warmed up with some blood sugar testing and started with a low prick and turned it up as I felt more comfortable with it.

Blood Sugar Testing

Leve 1x1x3
Level 2x1x3

I expect to reach level three by mid April if everything goes right. My ultimate goal is steroid injection without any anesthesia. These are pretty tough on the forearms, but i've been slapping a lot to numb the arm before the prick.

Heroin Injection

These are one of my favorite and tried and true excercises to warm up for a good steroid injection. I heated up the spoon with a butane torch to 120 degrees Celcius before mixing the heroin and water into a solution that would be injected directly into my bloodstream. I didn't use any anesthesia or slapping of the body to numb myself in preparation for the steroid injection.

2 oz x1

I decided to inject into my right thigh to get a little bit closer to my knee, which was the target area of today's excercise.

Steroid Injection

I went all out here. I guided the needle swiftly with as good a form as I can remember right between the miniscus and articular cartilage. It felt nice and hurt just like a good injection should.

3 oz x1x3

I only did three sets because I am working at getting knee strength and not just mass. I used to do a high level of reps but I found to add the most functional strength to the knee it was best to just go all out in one rep cycles.

My knees are rather sore, but they'll be stronger in no time. I expect the collateral ligaments to expand a lot because of the pressure of the direction injection so I'll have to take tomorrow off. But come Tuesday it's time for some amphetamines!
