Hi buddies, i have been seeing a PM dr.as some of you know and i had an appt. yesterday ,I have been seeing a pain specialist for the last few months and trial error medications and injections. The list goes on... I am wondering if there are others here that can try to help me out? My pm dr. just did and SI injection yesterday, we have tried all the biggies and there was talk of a RHizotomy and then a simulater type pain reliever being installed, sorry this is going to be kinda long. Anyway, when i had the injection yesterday he said he wants to cover all bases that is if it's something bigger okay but he wants to cover anything that could be minor, in wich i totally agree, i dont want something extreme if it doesn't need to be right! So he was going to do an injection in my Piriformis muscle? I have read up some on this and it could be something so easy compared anything else. He was going to inject but i had my son with me so i have to go back next week to have that one done! I can only hope it is something as easy! I was taken off of Methadon to go back on what i told him helped alot more in the past. I don't understand why i am so tolerant of pain meds, and alot of other meds. He said he knows i dont want to be on them although hes a dr. and has to worry because of others abuse of them and i let him know if hes on to something with these injections i toally agree to not having a pain pump put in. I feel that i am so young and i dont and cant be on taking a chance on being zombied out because i have a family to care for. And for the last month i just tuffed it out because nothing seems to be helping when i get the worst. Like last weekend i was down on the couch except for taking my kids a few places and there i was laying on the couch all day and night suffering but someof this is my own fault i know. I could go to the er or call the dr. but i seem to have this big problem being a tough girl. I was watching music videos this am to my favorite song and i got all sad thinking about how i liked to dance and go out and i do go out but not to do that sort of thing. I just wondered what anyone elses outlook and experiences are with injections and such?
Thanks, monkey
