Thumbs up Got my Cervical Epidural today

Man am I sore.

I was given the injection just below C7 (I'm thinking) all went well, no freak side effects, just soreness and achey all over which is how I usually react anytime I get a steroid shot anyway. I find it very interesting to report that I now have a new Dr (same practice apparently my OSS has sent me to the spinal rehab/ pain management dr who I met today and who did my epidural. While I like my surgeon, I really like this guy who explained my MRI and EMG results more more in detail than I have gotten before, and his goal is to spearhead the issues causing the pain so that I can enjoy doing all the crazy activities that I did before all this happened to begin with without having to pop pills every few days.
So we shall see. I left this afternoon feeling like I am in good hands. now let's pray this thing works
