Thanks everybody, it is really great to get validation! After each injection, (I was put out so I would not move when they put a big needle next to my spine, then injected dye with a smaller needle inside the big one to locate the right spot, then they would wiggle the needle around to get all three pinched nerves in S1,L5&4) and each time afterwards I spent the first few days crying, in bed but terrified to sleep and really depressed. When I did sleep it was all the old horible nightmares with new variations of being chased and they would tell me thats not a side effect! Well excuse me, I'm feeling it! The good news is after the third injection the pain is much less, I'm hoping now that the PT will work out and stop all talk of surgery. Thanks. It does help to know I'm not alone in this and my experences are real. Sometimes I get tired of being told what I experence or feel is not real. I really hate my new PCP, first she took a drug test with out telling me, when it came back negative she still could stop telling me I was an addict (of what?) and that my pain is all in my head! She's seen my MRI results and my pain management Dr found nerve damage in both arms and left leg, but no the pain is just my imagination! I did ask my pain doc why the test came back negitive because I do take pain meds, but they were short acting ones back then and are gone 4 hours after you take them. Since then I've been put on morphine, and other stuff the pain doc does believes I'm in a lot of pain. She knows exactly where to push, MAN! Plus the pain managment group includes a pdoc who is really well versed in PTSD and the rest of the docs there listen to him, which is great. But mostly from the medical personal I get a lot of negativaty so it is nice to hear from you all, again thanks .
