Saw the doc last month and didn't even bother mentioning it. I had heard of
cortisone shots, so I guess I should make an appointment to talk to him. I
hope he doesn't suggest physio.... bleah.

Talking to my dd in the U.K. the other day and happened to mention how I
used to get cortisone shots for my back years ago (backaches and
migraines are both very much fewer since both kids grew up and left
home!)and she told me that nowadays the doctors are giving botox shots
rather than cortisone for back spasms.

How does that work? Does the Botox replace shrunken disc material
to keep the vertebrae from pinching nerves? Or does it do something
directly to the nerve?

i suspect it does something to the nerves. i think that's how
it gets rid of wrinkles, by deadening the nerves in the face.
personally, i don't care how much pain i'm in, there is *no
way* anyone is injecting me with botulism toxin!

According to this site the botox paralyses the affected muscle.

I love being part of a knitting group. My mother was my mentor, and
she
was terrific. After a number of years, she also started learning from
me,
which really made me feel good.

Yes My mother told me that I could do a lot of things and they would
just be easy; and so lace and aran and so on has never held any terror
for me. Unfortunately, she herself did not do colour knitting, so it was
many years before I attempted intarsia or fair isle, both of which
turned out easier than expected We used to both knit for a charity
shop - donated yarn, and then the finished item sold for more money than
the yarn would have.

Now I run a knitting club in school, 7-10 year olds, and they love it.
I've also had some mothers pick up their needles again, or in one case,
a complete beginner who loves it now.

My own soon doesn't like to knit - but he likes to cross-stitch, so we
still get to craft together.
