I have had RSD for too many years to count. I was doing okay until I was rear ended in a MVAccident 15 months ago. I have herniated discs from L4-5 to S 1.
The orthopedic surgeon wants me to go to the pain clinic and have a facet injection. I know needles and I do not get along any longer. Even having a blood pressure cuff on is touchy. So as I understand the person is not knocked out and it is painful, for a few seconds. At least what I have read for the cervical facet injection. Anyone have a lumbar one ? The doc wants to do surgery on my neck for the bulging disc compressing nerves. I have already tried traction.. So this lumbar injection is hanging over me. I will have a new patient consult at the pain clinic I have not been to now in soo many years. Encouragement ?? |
