Good News At LastWell as you know I went for my steroid injections yesterday. To begin with the Doctor was just going to do one side of my spine but when he got the pictures up with the x-ray machine he asked if I wanted to go for both sides. I bit the bullet and said ok go for it. I was told I would probably be very sore and stiff to day as he had stirred things up. I'M FEELING GREAT!!! the injections have worked!!!! I'm so pleased. The only thing is at the base of my spine just at the top of my bum I have two puncture wounds and nasty bruising but I don't care. This is the first time in nearly 7 years I have managed to dress, put socks on and shoes without pain, no having to stop half way to get a rest. I'm over the moon!!!!!! The pain of the injections was well worth the result!

Oh, I'm so delighted for you Jac! Living with constant pain must be dreadful  You'll soon be chasing Ceilidh around the park; they'll be no stopping you!!How long does the pain relief from the injections last? |

From what I can gather Yola it's varied. From weeks to months depending on the individual. A good outcome would be about 6 months. I honestly feel like a new person. It's great. I wish I had been given them years ago. I'm going back to the pain clinic in 6 weeks so I'll find out more then. |

To be honest, I didn't really know what to expect. He told me all the things that could go wrong  Then said it could take three or four days to settle down. Yet today I feel great (exept my bum ) If Bootsey was here I would give it a go!!! That's how good I feel. Just to be able to make a coffee without hurting is fantastic!! I really dont know how to describe it. Even my mood has lifted so much. |

That is EXCELLENT Jac, I am so pleased for you  Just a cautionary note, don't go mad with doing things and still take it easy  I know how it is tho to go from being in chronic pain all the time to suddenly none. It's liberating |
