    My mate has got his laptop back with him so hopefully my disc will work and he can burn you a copy whilst I am away!

    He's not in this week but he has got a disc I gave him before he went, so when I come back it all should be done, if not I will let you know!

    Just do some interval training, all out for 1 minute max gear, then recover for a minute, then blast again until you can do no more;)

    Never had one Al, but do know that they can bring relief for quite a long time, up to a couple of years. As far as I know the problems arise if you have too many of them which can affect the tissue around the joint.

    I've had a couple in each knee - years ago though, back in the days when needles were needles and you could either draw blood through them or knit with them. :)

    Seriously though, I don't recollect that they were particularly painful - more unpleasant in that I could feel them inside the joint. They certainly eased the pain I was experiencing though.

    since the bat mitzvah, i've gone a little carb crazy and have managed to gain at least half a stone, silly me! So, back to the grind on Monday, the new diet (which is hugely similar to the old one) is quite exciting...watch this space!

    Go for it H! ;)

    Well I will not be rushing back for another hydrocortisone injection in a hurry<yikes> The jab went alright stung a bit;) then the nightmare began, about an hour later I started getting pain in my elbow:( which then resulted in me feeling light headed and sweaty, so I splashed water on my face but thought f*** this for a game of soldiers I am off to the Med centre where I was seen by the Doctor straight away BP taken and it dropped like a stone, was told to go lay down in the quiet room where I was given tea, a choccy biccy and sympathy by the staff in there!45 minutes later my BP had gone up enough for me to go back to work where I had lunch and drove home. Where I have vegged out all afternoon;) Still feel like cr@p and the pain is a nightmare so sleeping will be interesting<yikes> I feel an early weekend coming on;) as there is no way I can see myself getting up early and washing, shaving, showering and putting uniform on!

    Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow though;)
