The injections themselves (3 on each side of my neck) were fine. I had them at around 9:30 a.m. By lunchtime I was getting very sore in my neck with very bad headache. Day two my neck was somewhat better but the pain in my shoulders and arms was much worse than usual. I developed a migraine by midday which lasted until I fell asleep at 4:30 a.m. Today, day 3, is better but pain and headache spike with any activity.

I've spent most of the last 3 days resting and lying down. I've stayed off the computer for the most part, read only in short doses when I could tolerate it, and did almost nothing. I'm not sure if I've had the bad reaction to the office exam, the injections or both. So far, it's very disheartening. I was told it could take until Monday to know whether I will get any pain relief.

I'll keep you all posted. And maybe everyone can keep their fingers crossed for me.
