Feeling a little better

[ashleyanne714]

So my pelvic pain is easing up. Its tender where he did the injections and starting to bruise but starting to feel better. Thank God. Still having anxiety. Hoping for sleep tonight. I'm exhausted. I see my pain doctor the 19th and talk to her about how I'm feeling and talk about scheduling more if needed and getting my sciatic back pain injection. If I can get injections to get my pain better I'm all for it. I don't want back on pills!

Thank you. I went to Walmart at lunch and got one of those heat patches to put on my back. It's helping some. I have to walk up a hill and kinda far from my office to my car and that's causing issues. My lower back and right side hurts awful. Ill be ok. Took some Tylenol. I'm looking forward to seeing my doctor the 19th and scheduling my next injections.

Great to hear from you this morning, and fantastic news!!! All of the WD stuff will be going away soon. It sounds like you're through the worst of it! Just know that when we withdraw the initial pains will hit us for awhile, but they will soon settle down also. You should be proud of yourself for doing what you're doing! Keep on keeping on Ashley, you're getting your life back!

I'm on Day 4 and actually I'm ok. Slept a little better last night. Still no energy. My legs are a little crampy but very week. My cramps are pretty much gone from the injection. My injection sites are sore but ok. My lower back is killing me but other than that I'm actually ok. I don't see or talk to her until the 19th but when I do I'm not getting more pills. I want to get the injection for my lower back and hopefully it works like this one did. And go from there. I am a little depressed but otherwise I think I will make it :)

How are you feeling today Ashley? I can imagine those injections, where they injected them, are going to be sore for a while. You mentioned in the other post that it wasn't the injection you thought it was going to be. Hope you were able to confer with your doctor on that, or that you have the next one scheduled. It's hit or miss with the injections it seems. My Lumbar ESI was a perfect hit, later they did a "Facet" injection in another injured location that didn't do much of anything for me.  One thing certain, injury to spines are never the exact same thing from person to person. Always in a different locations needing individual custom placement of the injections.

Most importantly, how is your detoxing going? Did you talk to your doctor about that? Stay with us on here. The detox part is what this forum is all about. We always want to help! -Robert
