I had one session, which entailed two injections, one on each side. Well, two on each side if you count the anesthesia, which I would highly recommend. Nobody sticks those big needles in between any of my bones without a little shot first to dull the pain! They can do it easily and it's not too much to ask!

I'm not sure what to say about the leg pain. I don't really have any back pain--they just say that the nerve impingement is there--L4 or L5--I can't remember. Sometimes they seem to want me to have back pain because it would fit in better with their diagnosis but I patiently remind them that, no, I don't.

Some days it feels a lot better, but then I get a really bad day and think "well maybe it's not helping." When I go for the second I will ask if that's the usual story. I can't say for certain that it hasn't helped some. I'm just not sure what to think.

I'll be interested to hear what Alan says.
