Doesn't sound right to me, Bonzo. A steroid is a steroid; "cheap" has nothing to do with it - hydrocortisone is hydrocortisone; it doesn't matter how many pennies per dose. What will make a difference is whether it's a site specific or general injection.

This page says there are 4 basic types of injection, only one of which is definitely a 'general' (I'm less than certain what the purpose of the epidural is; the other two are site-specific).

And yes, Sand, I also thought Jack was unnecessarily rude, but this is t'internet & many of us jump from time to time. Do you never? My memory says Jack is not a particularly vigorous offender, though I may just have missed stuff! ;-)
