From chronic opioid pain meds to finding relief with facet joint injections.

After three years on OxyContin, I found immediate relief today with facet joint injections. I’m happily looking forward to weaning off opioids and getting back to living life. I almost didn’t give this treatment a chance due to the Dr. being quite rude about my pain meds and questions about the procedure itself. I still don’t like the Dr. but I love the results.
