    Jenny you will probably feel like running home,after your injection,but don't.A lot of people make the mistake after taking pain relief,to overdo it.You should only take gentle exercise.

    Hi Jenny I had my injection on Tuesday and the pain has eased loads. I drove home afterwards so you'll be fine. Last year I had the injections in the palm of my hands and they also put in an anaesthetic. .this made both hands totally numb and I couldn't drive but they did give me fair warning and my friend took me in her car x
