ROLMBO!!!!! I'm glad you liked my post and got a laugh! I hadn't thought of it as "upload pictures for dummies" LOLOLOL I like that.....I WILL remember next time to add instructions as to getting them off the comp ONTO the little yellow button.

Writing and my sense of humor have kept me going and will until the day I kick the bucket. Hubby and I both have an "odd" sense of humor ourselves and sometimes have to make it clear to others we're not being mean or talking down. Both of us have had many people who don't "get" us either. LOLOL

Hugs,

Karen

It's not unusual for them to administer it in the wrong place though it seems strange it would cause a flare.
I had my SNB's started approximately eight months after the surgery and I felt some mixed relief from them. That to me is very early considering some of the things I have heard people saying. I luckily had an observant doctor look at me. Literally look at me.....I was at a doctor visit with my wife being seen, not me, when the doc looked down at my leg an saw its condition. She simply said, "I think you have RSD" and recommended me go see a doc she knew. She was right and the docs I had been seeing for nearly a year couldn't figure it out or they didn't want to. By the sixth block of the series the relief was none. My PM doctor stopped the injections.
