I hope this condition you woke up with improves, you've been through enough as it is, girl.

PS:  I sent you a PM about 3 weeks ago, but don't know if you received it.

I see a sports medicine doctor and have had great results. I’ve had the injections in my right knee and shoulder.  The good thing is there’s no rule against it in music.  If we were major league athletes we’d be banned for life for the steroids.

BTW don't worry about growing large muscles in your finger or looking like some freakish East German Olympic swimmer from the '80s.  I've had steroid (e.g., cortisone) shots for various joint problems.  The typical steroid used as a powerful anti-inflammatory  does not have an anabolic effect like steroids used by strength and power athletes.  (And these are not banned like anabolics.)  I know that the poster was just kidding, but if you are concerned, check with your doc.  I'm sure you will find that your particular steroid injection will not build muscle.  It is just a great anti-inflammatory medication.
