I have herniated discs in my lumbar and cervical spine. The lumbar one was causing sciatica, and in the process of receiving therapy for that, it was determined that my SI Joint was outta whack too. I've been having epidural steroid/nerve block injections for the past 7 weeks. They did 4 on my lower back and 2 on my neck, but yesterday they did my SI Joint. I was sedated for the procedure, so I'm not exactly sure what happened... but when I was in recovery, a nurse and my doctor both came in separately and asked me to stand up and bend over and rate my level of pain relief. This never happened when I had the other injections. Also, when I got home I realized that I had 5 bandaids as opposed to the normal 2. I'm not sure if this is standard when working on this area, or if something went wrong and they didn't want to tell me. Normally I get a follow up call the next day to see where my pain level is... no call today. I'm a little perplexed by all of this, as something just seems different. I'm hoping that maybe someone can shed some light on this for me before I go back in 2 weeks. I'm afraid to ask my doctor because I'm not sure how to do that without sounding suspicious or accusatory. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
