Hi Nanc!

Thank you so much for asking! I did. He felt like I responded well and would like to do a series of them, but we both agreed that my lower back is an issue in two ways. 1. If my injection site was so aggravated from one injection then how would it tolerate once a week for six weeks or so. 2. The lower back issues are contributing to the CRPS pain / problem. Sooooo Yesterday we did a Facet Injection / Medial Branch Block. Damn I'm getting brave! .. or crazy! .. or desperate.


Either way, I was so proud of myself! I was a big girl and old shed a couple of tears this time. I did cuss a couple of times though ..lol. Not like a sailor. I think they got a kick out of me in the procedure room.

Soooo we did this to see if it made my back feel better, which it did. Therefore the next thing, to do would be radiofrequency ablation. This getting my back under control, to then attack with a series of the sympathetic blocks.

As the injections from yesterday were wearing off I went into a massive flare in my upper body. Had to take the big gun pain killers and now the lovely raging massive headache.. ouch!!

So yes, I am still pushing forward. Thanks so much for asking! I hope this finds you having a decent night
