Cheryl, Thinking of you and hoping you are feeling better soon. By the way, my DH has to get the same cortisone shot in the neck (same spinal area) next week. Actually he has to get 3 shots in 3 areas. Keep us posted on the MRI news. Don't overwork yourself with the inlaws!

Yeah, I know I am a little boring!

Pinched nerve C3/4 is part of the dx. Cervical radiculopathy. That's why I had the epidural cortisone injection (ESI) done today.

The rest is still in the process of being dx'd. Waiting on brain MRI results and still have to get the nerve conduction study done.

I must say the procedure was painless. And I seem to be doing a whole lot better. I can feel my index finger! Very tired and my back is a little sore, but otherwise, doing very well.

My DH will be glad to hear that it wasn't painful. Last week he found out he has 3 herniated disks in his neck -- he's been in terrible pain with a somewhat useless floppy hand (and a numb finger or two). I get to drive him as I think they also give some tranquilizers???

They didn't give me any but told me I couldn't drive. I was pretty woozy from the trauma...sort of like an LP. Just very tired. It felt like someone had been sitting on my back...someone heavy! Other than that, really no problem!

Tell him if I can get through it, he can. And I am a pain wuss....ask Gazelle!
