Week 2, Second round of Gel Injections

I will be getting my second round of gel injections this after noon.  Last week I received my injections on Monday, I was pain free Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday night the pain started to come back just a little, Friday I was a little soar and that continues through the weekend.  I am not in as much pain as I was before the gel injections but I would say my knees are the same as they were before the first injections with the pain intensity less. So in other words everything hurts in the same place but instead of an 8 pain rating I am a 4.  I am able to get up and down off of a stool pain free, sit down and stand up pain free, I even found myself running in the rain yesterday :).  My quality of life is increasing and I pray to God these shots continue to work.  I am trying not to get my hopes up but the more I find I am able to do the more I realize how limited I was in just the simple day to day activity and keeping my hopes at bay is becoming increasingly difficult.  I find myself day dreaming about personal trainers and getting back into shape.  I need to simmer down and take it one week at a time.
