Hello everyone,

After a discussion with my doctor yesterday morning I went through with the R.F. injection. The procedure itself was horrific and extremely painful (cried through the whole thing and for about an hour after) and today I find myself in extreme discomfort. My back feels like I was beat with a baseball bat and my nerves in my legs are extremely irritated. I will not know the results until 4-6 weeks from the procedure and statistically (and since I'm an accountant I love my numbers) there is 20% chance of this working. The 20% may sound discouraging but that’s a 1 out of 5 patients have relief and I'm hoping I'm that I fall in the 20%. I have been fighting this for a couple years so I'm not naive but I am still hopeful.
Per other discussions with my doctor yesterday, there are other options but they are all extremely invasive so I don’t think I will be taking that path. For me, it’s either this works and I can cut down on my medicine or it doesn’t work and I will be stuck with my medicine for a long time. I will keep everyone posted as to any progress or lack of progress. I hope everyone is doing well.

Sarah
