Hi Gazza, Mandy, I am now booked in for 20th March for injection in my Right foot and hands. Hopefully it will be as successful as my left foot. First time for hands. I'll keep everyone posted. Mandy, it does take a bit of time to show results so don't get depressed if at first you feel nothing is happening. I think for my first round on my left foot it took a good 3 months for the nodule to shrink then slowly disappear. Good luck to both of you.

Hi Terry,
I hope your appointment went well yesterday.
Hi to you as well Gaz.
It's now 3 weeks since my injections. My hand was a little bruised for longer than expected, but not too bad. It did make massaging the nodules a little uncomfortable.
So far, I'm happy that I've had this done. My hands no longer throb and are not nearly as painful. My Physio is quite delighted.
he says the nodules feel a little softer and "less stuck". The cords also more flexible.
Thanks for the info about your foot taking about 3.months, gives me something to look forward too.
While I hope that there is further improvement, I could manage my life quite well how my hands are at the moment.
If anyone feels negative toward this so called "unproven treatment", then don't reply to this post please. Happiest I've been about this disease since it first raised it's ugly bumps.
Good luck with April Gazza.
Look forward to hearing how you guys get on.

Cheers (enjoy the Pies and beers!)
Mandy

Hi Guys,

I hope all is well with your latest treatments and you are living the life....
It now seems that I m off to the clinic on Wednesday the 4 th April......so it would be good to catch up if you are free in the evening or late afternoon Terry.....I m anticipating feeling a bit grumpy after treatment on both hands and my foot....but hey.....it could be worse....

All the best
Gazza

Hey Gazza heard nothing from you are you still at Dr Chin tomorrow? If so plse let me know where you are staying of you want to catch up. Cheers T

Oh well....just had my hands and left foot injected......this is the first time for my hands and the second for the foot......

As with my first treatment 3 years ago the pain and local swelling subsided after 24 hours. .....already I can see considerable improvements in all treated areas and particularly my foot...
..so much less tension.......this is also the case with my hands.......I took a measure of my hands outline before the treatment and my span is clearly significantly larger.....all the nodules are already softer and shrinking accept one on my right hand that seems unchanged....
So let's hope the progress continues...

All the best to you

Gazza
