Default Had my facet joint diagnostic

Hi all, just popping in to let you know how that went so far.

I did not want to go - worse than any other thing so far, I wanted to not do this. I feel like it's all such guess work and so much has been for nothing, why bother? And it rained for 3 days, we have flood warnings and roads closed like I've never seen.

I felt horrible and tired and just wanted to stay in bed. (okay enough whining lol)

I opted to go with the versed - the doc said I should be plenty alert to know if the shot was working while it was working and he was right about that. I am no more sleepy or confused than usual.

Says a lot about my usual, huh?



The versed was one tiny shot in the hand, the FJD was 5 shots in the left side of my neck. No more painful than any other shot, less that a lot of shots I've had.

I did notice feeling fairly groggy at first (that's wearing off), and the nerve pain in my left shoulder is gone. Left upper arm feels somewhat less achey and weak. Hard to say about my neck, cuz it is really sore from the shots. Never been this sore from anything before, not even tetanus did a number like that on me. Yow. Felt slightly swollen, but seems to be going down now.

Still a wee bit uncooridinated.

So, good news, no horrible side effects and some benefits. All in all, glad I went through with it and will do the follow up injections.
