Consultants Conclusion

Jac · 27-09-2007, 02:21 PM

Well the pain clinic wasn't too bad. He only gave me a wee examination as I about hit the roof. He got the pain spots Bang on!
Conclusion. In about 4 weeks time i'm going to have steroid injections into my lower spine. I'll get a local anisthetic first. I'll lie face down under an ex ray machine and "be done". As I'm on opates already he can tweek about with them. Although as I'm so young (hehe) it means I'll be on really heavy duty opates when I'm old

.
He recons he can improve my pain by 30 to 50 per cent

.
He's fully booked for the next two weeks then off for two weeks then I'll be in! In a way I'm really chuffed but in another a bit afraid.

No not yet. Mum gave up her licence three years ago. Darryle isn't old enough. Hadn't really thought about that Erin. I could get a taxi.

Well it sounds really positive Jac

A reduction of 30-50% in pain would be so great for you

Try not to worry too much in the run up to it.

*hugs*
