What impact? I didn't mention what the problem was. Do you think cortisone has no medical benefit? That would be an interesting view. Would go against every medical professional and medical article that I've ever encountered. And because of major injury in '77 that's a long list. Or is it just using it for trigger point injections that you think wouldn't help.Quote:
It shouldn't have that impact, but...who knows. Placebo effects are still effects.
My neighbor (85F) gets cortisol shots about twice a year but she tells me they aren’t as effective as when she first got them.
Yeah, I've had the same experience with my shoulder. After a few years I wasn't seeing any benefit from the shots, so I stopped. I've heard the same from several people. I've always tried to keep them to a minimum because there can also be some nasty side effects.Quote:

No, that wasn't where I was going. I've never had a cortisone shot, as chance would have it, but I talked to somebody who had gotten one and found that, at his next session in the gym, he could lift more weight than he had. Cortisone is not supposed to increase strength, so it was more likely to have been a placebo effect, but....well, who knows?Quote:

I definitely support that theory. Unfortunately. :cool:Quote:

Yeah, it's weird that way.
I've had numerous issues where the doctor said essentially, "give it time...or give it cortisone."
Went from 50's and lots of rain to @ 90 all in the same week. We usually don't get much, if any, rain in May. This makes two years in a row we got plenty of rain. Thought for a while that Ca. was going to dry up and die.
In Germany it’s more or less the opposite.Quote:

Fun fact, If you spill a bowl of steaming hot Teriyaki sauce on your foot it burns the hell out of your foot. Don't think I'll be able to run in the Olympics this year. Last night took a sudden turn and not a good one.
Another fun fact. Getting Teriyaki sauce off the floor is hard. I've mopped three times and it's still sticky.
Follow me for more fun facts.
Here's a little something to get your mind off your troubles, Wes. There's alot going on in this video:

Try cleaning-up printer ink off your floor. About half a year ago I accidently overfilled the black ink tank to my Epson. I still have a stain on my wooden floor.Quote:

Were there only two bases, or did that kid run straight(ish) to second, then third, then home?
One kid readied himself near 1st base to tag him out. Funny the kid with the ball didn't think about tagging out the runner cutting across the field.
Did you mean the one that got beaned? Yeah, getting hit in the head with a ball usually hurts (I have no idea what kind of ball they were using), but his fall was pretty theatrical.
Yeah, that fall was something.
It looks like they were using a Spalding tennis ball. It wouldn't have hurt him if it would've hit him on top of the head, but he got it in the face about eye level.
Did you noticed when the kid threw his bat at the adult behind him. Cracks me up that the kid skips 1st base after he was directed to run to it. :lol:
