So, my doctor decided after my first set of injections last week that he doesn't want to do the radio frequency ablation next week. He fears damaging the nerve and causing RSD there. After last week, how much I hurt from the needles (I hurt for days) and how sensitive the nerve is, he decided to inject steroids instead to see how that would do. This is for the lower left back pressure/pain and the pain in my right hip going down my leg. The diagnostic injections last week helped, but didn't last. Hopefully this will help and the pain will subside so I can turn up the SCS in for my legs.
Today I had the steroid injections...fun, fun, it was a treat.
To top off the day, my bridge that is on my dental implants came off this afternoon. Argh!!! This is on the RSD side of my face

good thing is that my dentist will see me first thing in the morning and is very familiar with my situation.
So, that is where I am now...
