Just got back from my first epidural block injection for my lower back. Had the series of cervical blocks and I am happy I did.  Neck much better.  However, this lumbar one was one painful  bitch!!  It was over within about 2-3 minutes, but damn it hurt.  My back is now killng me at the injection site.   (low back)  But if it helps like the neck one it will be worth it.   Gonna get a CAT scan for the lung spots again in May & now will be getting a scan for a hernia,  cause I think I have one of those too.  Damn I am  falling apart fast.  Willl write more later if I wake up before morning.  Back hurts so bad and my legs are still like jello.  Is the cure worse than the ache????  hmmmmmmmmm?
