Hi everyone!

So...after talking with the doctor about my MRI results that I was previously told were normal (but really showed two bulging disks and a herniated disk)...we have decided to try a series of cervical epidurals to see if that helps with some of my pain since my fall. I know it won't help with the RSD...but there's definitely some other stuff that has been going on in terms of neck pain, shooting pains down my arm, etc since I fell. I am hoping that this will help with at least SOME of that pain and give me a little relief. Tomorrow I go in for my first one, three weeks later we'll do a second, and then three weeks after that a third. Tomorrow I will also check in with the doctor on the status of the DRG stimulation treatment and if it's time to resubmit to insurance or if the information will be published in January. I think THAT will be a real game changer for me and I am anxious to get it done...but definitely need to make sure all the approvals are in place from the insurance company first.

It's been a really rough time lately for me with extra cold weather and the holidays...but hopefully tomorrow is the start of things getting better for me. Wish me luck!
