- got a shot of cortizone-like medicine in my sacral area of my back. It am grateful that it usually works. I am hoping it will allow me to go to be with the new baby to help. I don't know how I'll help because I should not do any bending, twisting or lifting. Maybe I should not go. But, I am tired of health problems stopping my life.
