Hiya emma
i understand how you feel, i am beyond counting how many i have had now.
I think i have had another 4-5 since i last replyed to someone on here.
Each time the injections really hurt.
I have found that it really helps if you arrange work shifts around your procedure.
i now leave work after a night shift and go straighht to the hospital.
by this time i am that tired that the pain levels are a lot lower than they would have been.
keep talking to your Pain management speciallist, tell them exactly how your feeling when the injections wear off. eventually they will listen but you have got to be constantly on at them.
there are medications you can take along with the injections that may help out.
hope this helps.
