Another giant needle - awesome...


Had another late start to the day, and then headed to get my second facet injection. I mentioned to the nurse the extreme pain since the injection, her answer these injections are diagnostic as well as pain management, so hopefully we will no more after each injection. The second needle was administered in my left side this time, it started off fine, but after a few pushes and several x-ray snap shots boom she hit something. I'm like 'moan', she says oh did you feel a little pressure? She pushes a bit more, 'aaahhh'. It was extremely painful, she said sorry it's a very small area, ugh no problem I replied... J






I haven't left the sofa since the freezing came out in fear of being inflicted with the great pain I endured from the last needle. So I am not sure what to report, on the success or failure of this new injection. Although since that feeling of 'pressure', I call pain, that I felt when she was inserting the needle, my left leg has been very numb...








I failed my goal for today - I have no excuse, I just didn't do it. My goal for tomorrow is to go help my friend.







Talk to y'all tomorrow...
