I’m in so much pain I’m about to cry. My back is hurting so much. I wanted to wait until June to get surgery done so I wouldn’t have to miss work but I’m not sure I can hold out that long. I might be better in a few days because I know I aggravated it axe throwing in Saturday so maybe it will get better and I will be able to stand the pain again. Right now I’m at a nine out of ten.


I have a test in about half an hour that will determine whether it is more joint pain or disc pain. If it is joint pain I have the option of a radio frequency ablation, where they go in and burn the nerve that is sending pain signals to the brain. But that doesn’t take care of the actual problem of the herniated disc. And it only works for six months to a year. I don’t think that’s even worth it. I’d rather do the surgery and get permanent (hopefully) relief than have the same pain six months from now. But at this point I’ll do anything.


Ugh I hope somehow this can be fixed.
