I went through with it and I'm really uncomfortable. My PM doc did all four levels and the first three weren't too bad. The last one was pretty rough. They took four or five shots at it to get a total of 90 seconds of burn time, and each time the pain I was feeling got so bad that they had to stop, wait, and go again. Then he added more numbing medication to try to get it finished, but it kept on being painful. Finally, they got the full time, I think, but I'm a little fuzzy on that. Anyway, ice is my friend right now and moving is a little difficult because of the pain and my muscles aren't happy, but thats no surprise. I think I'll go back to around the clock dosing of klonopin for awhile. He told me I could be miserable for up to a month. I hope its not that long, but time will tell. I also hope this works for me.

Prairegirl, I don't know how you went through yours without meds. The last one was really hard to handle, and I had meds. I hope tomorrow is a better day. EE
