    Go see the doctor.  You are seeing a specialist which is great. Remember you don’t have to let him/her do anything unless you agree to it.  They can offer a suggestion and you can say thanks but I’d like a second opinion.

      Its been...4 days, is that right?  It can easily take a week to improve.  If you can get by with injections only consider yourself very lucky.  I know that's not how you feel right now , but it's true!

      Yes 4 days. I know you are right praying the injections do the trick. I have to take blood thinners so not many options unless come off for a while

      You are right guess I am expecting too much too soon. Just hate to see bleeding. The pressure and itch I can deal with. Just was trying to get some input from someone who had the injections. Dr did not really tell me too much as to what to expect. Did you do them and if so what was your experience.

      Hope by a week I feel much better. Heard sometimes has to be repeated. 

      Guess time will tell

      Thanks for feedback

      Just a supper annoying thing to deal with. I know could be so much worse.
