Littlepaw,
The Dr said nothing about my pain. He never said if he got where he wanted to be, all that was saod to me by him was here comes the bee sting, and you're gonna feel some pressure. Which turned out to be hip joint pain not pressure. My discharge papers say I had a right lumbar sympathetic nerve block. I was in tears leaving the procedure room could not move my hip due to the pain, and cried during recovery when they wanyed me to move my legs. The nuses and the Dr spent the entire procedure discussing their weekend plans.
I can move today without severe pain but the longer I stand or sit upright, the more the joint hurts.
