Steroid shots!
I finally broke down and got them in my back today. Hopefully it will cut down on the lower back, and sciatic nerve pain. I've been dealing with it for a while, and will avoid surgery as long as I can. Ahhh.. the joys of getting old! Anyone here have them? If so, what kind of results did you have?

I've had a total of 3 the past 3 or 4 years...
I had two epidural steroids in relatively quick succession about 4 months ago. The first one did nothing, the second one 'cured' me. Latest MRI Imagery showed L5 Herniation/Desiccation along with a bone fragment pressing on the S1 Nerve Root. I was scheduled for Surgery on June 11th, was in the hospital hooked to IV's ready to get cut open, when the Surgeon decided NOT to perform the surgery because I wasn't experiencing any pain. He figured the pain was being managed with the Steroids, and that cutting me open was counter-intuitive. The following week, of course, the pain resumed. With a FORCE. I talked to my primary doc and he told me to research the work of Doctor John Sarno. This man has saved my life. PM me if you want more info. I'm not ****in around. |

They told me I should feel some relief by Monday. The local has worn off, and I'm feeling it again, but I will give it time.

My supervisor was dealing with disk problems with his lower back. He got the steroid shots and it did help him for a bit. He had no space between three disks and had constant pain in his hips and legs.
He had surgery on Monday and his pain index went from a constant 9.5/10 ( which was every day ) to a 3/10. The surgeon removed the tops of the disks which made space again. He's planning on stopping in at work this coming Monday, I can ask him questions if you have any |

Read the book James, it will change your life. I am not making this shit up. I was immediately directed to surgeons after my MRI, and simply having the knowledge of TMS DRASTICALLY reduced my pain. The Medical Industry is not on your side, they are in it to make as much money as possible...They are treating symptoms, not the actual problem. I really can't believe it, but my back is better than it has ever been by simply reading some material, and believe in my heart that it is true. The pain VANISHED within a few days. It's SO WEIRD! I know in my heart, armed with this knowledge, that I will never have a problem again. I seriously believe that. |
