Hi, First I would like to ask where that was? Doesn't sound like a place I want to go! Your pains and such are a great combination of me and my hubby. Just be careful with those spine injections! Both my hubby and I have had them some years ago. We stopped. A week after my husband had an injection, he came down with spinal meningitis. He was very ill for about a month! Naturally, that doctor told him there was NO connection! WHAT???? What a coincidence, huh? We found out later by a "real" doctor that it was most definitely caused by that injection! It was not a pleasant side effect, believe me!! For your own good - please be careful or even rethink getting them in your spine!!
Just sayin.........................

Sorry that your having so much pain. I also suffer with spine pain, mostly lumbar and S-I. Try ice followed by a quality topical creme.(not the stuff at CVS) 3x a day. Also try to take a ten minute break every hour. Don't try stretching or exercise until you feel better and then go on line for proper stretches and exercises for your condition. Start very slowly and easy. No sudden jerky movements & brace yourself when you sneeze. There is no cure for your condition, but you will eventually discover what works and what does't. If the injections fail try PT or Chiro, Good luck buddy.

Your problems sound familiar. I've had an operation in two places on my cervical spine and one on my lumbar spine after injections didn't help. I can't walk right and My fingers on both hands are both numb and very painful. Hope your operation gives you some relief.

What a tale. I'm so sorry that you had such troubles!!! Sending healing thoughts your way. Hope you are feeling better!
