Update on injections/back pain

[Grammy80]

I had the injections at 9 am and the anesthesiologist did them guided by x-ray. I had a total of 16 injections in the lumbar region on the right and left sides. At least it felt liked sixteen 8 where he injected a local and then the second sensation of deeper pressure. It is almost 4 hours and no discomfort. It really wasn't bad and worth it if it works, for sure. I'm to stay awake for six hours and diary how and what I feel each hour and what I am doing at the time. It is my understanding the process may be repeated in a few weeks to better diagnose exactly what nerves are causing the pain before they are blocked. Even though they are blocked/burned, they may grow back but right now I say, WooHoo. I'm going to move around again, it is so great to be able to walk, and especially stand, for more that 3-4 minutes. Would my friends across the pond say "Bully".....I would.xo💕💕

So happy to hear you are finally getting some relief! Hope it is long lasting. Be careful and take it easy...no running around the block. 😆

I hope this works long-term Grammy and is worth the pain and suffering. Thinking of you my friend. Xxx
