HELLO FRIENDS,
I JUST WANTED TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH ALL OF YOU, THIS PAST MONDAY
MY WONDERFUL NEW DR. DID A SPINAL BLOCK ON ME, IN HOPES OF BRINGING
SOME RELIEF EVEN IF IT WAS JUST A LITTLE.
THE PROCEDURE ITSELF WAS UNEVENTFUL, THEY PREPPED ME AND SEDATED ME,
THEN THEY HAD ME LAY ON MY TUMMY ..WHICH IS VERY TOUGH FOR ME...AND THEN
MY DR DID THIS BLOCK..TO SORT OF NUMB ME FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY RIB CAGE
TO THE GROIN AREA...NOW HE TOLD ME THAT MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE ADHESIONS
DO NOT GET MUCH BENEFIT FROM THESE PROCEDURES...SO I FIGURED IT WOULD
NOT HELP A BIT...SO I WAS NOT REAL OPTIMISTIC...
YESTERDAY I WAS VERY SORE FROM THE ACTUAL PROCEDURE...AND MY TOES ARE
NUMB...ON MY LEFT FOOT.
BUT THIS AM I WOKE UP AND CAN ONLY FEEL PAIN IN A VERY NARROW STRIP
ALONG MY GROIN AREA...NOTHING AT ALL FROM THE RIBCAGE TO ABOUT 1 INCH
ABOVE THE GROIN...SO I HAVE BEEN THANKING GOD FOR THIS RESPITE FROM THE
MISERY...NO MATTER HOW BRIEF IT MAY BE...I AM SO VERY THRILLED THAT MY
DR GAVE ME THIS CHANCE TO HAVE A LITTLE LESS PAIN AT THE VERY
LEAST...WHAT A TREMENDOUS BLESSING THIS DAY IS FOR ME...SO IF YOU
CAN...ASK YOUR DR ABOUT THESE INJECTIONS..HE PUT THE INJECTIONSIN AT L-4
L-5 L-6 AND ABOVE...I SPOKE WITH HIM THIS MORNING..FOR A FEW
MINUTES..AND HE SAID NEXT TIME HE WOULD PUT THEM IN THE SAME PLACES PLUS
A LITTLE LOWER AS TO GET THE 1 IN STRIP THAT WASNT AFFECTED THIS
TIME....HE WAS AS THRILLED WITH THIS OUTCOME AS I AM...
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE NOT TAKEN A PAIN PILL YET
TODAY...THAT IN ITSELF IS AMAZING.
THESE SPINAL BLOCKS ARE A LITTLE SCARY BUT LOOK...EVEN IF I ONLY GET TO
HAVE TODAY WITH ALMOST NO PAIN...IT IS VERY WORTH IT...
I dont post here much anymore..BUT I WAS SO THRILLED AT THEOUTCOME..THAT
I FELT COMPELLED TO SHARE THIS WITH ALL ARS SUFFERERS.
HOPING YOU HAVE A FEW PAIN FREE MOMENTS.
MUCH LOVE
TISH..
