the chiro just irritated thing too much by his ''snap snapping''. you got good advice to do PT. and yes the heal and toes hurting do match up to the L5/S1 nerve root. and good the injection hit the bulls eye.....pal pete

I'm glad you're feeling better, but it's TOO SOON to know if the injection is working. What you're feeling now is just the "numbing" stuff they gave you to give you the shot, I suspect. Usually it takes longer than this for the injection to begin working.

But --- could be. Who knows.

Good luck and keep us posted, okay? Hugs, Lee

Red face shoot
Shoot, you were right.. the lidocaine wore off and the pain is back... crap.. Can't sit for very long. Some relief but not much.

I still feel the methylprednisone running through my body, but i need another shot in my neck.. i hope I dont do something crazy on all these steriods...

I talked with a coworker with low back issue and he has toe numbness, so i guess it's a common enough thing... argh..

thanks for all the feedback!

J.
