well I got up the courage and have booked in for the injection on the 11 th august now I have just got to get there haha

Hi Dianne Duncan,

Please let us know how it goes on the 11th.

Sure hope you get relief and all goes well.

The unknown is frightening. I was a little apprehensive before my first one. It was the not knowing what it would be like that was the biggest hurdle.

pain block injection
 

well I am a sook that was not so bad, it was more the unknown not knowing what they do or how they do it anyway I am able to stand up with out a lot of pain at the moment we will see once the anasetic wears off, that you to all that got me there in the first place.

back pain
 

well it has been 3 days and my pain has started to return not very happy about that but will talk to the doctor on Monday and see what he has to say about the pain returning, I forgot how good it is not to have pain I think you just get used to it and it is part of your life and when you don't have any again it is just great but now it is back again :(

pain block injection
 

well I am now going to have a spinal block as the steroid didn't work so they have decided that I can now have a block to block the pain they are going to do that on the 2nd sept so I will wait and see if that works not as nervous this time

Hi dianne,

Sorry your last treatment did not work, but the Spinal Block sounds a positive step.

Great to hear you are not as nervous this time, try and keep this feeling of calm for the next 5 days.

Keep us up to date on how it goes.

Dave.
