Granny's gone and done it again

It's supposed to help with the pain of the crumbling vertebrae & pinching nerves but I only had a month of relief. And only marginally at that. The procedure was very painful. Putting the needle into your vertebrae is painful enough, but the steriods they pump in burns like fire & then when they guide the needle into the nerve endings and start cauterizing it is beyond painful. It hurt to even cry. They have to do the procedure that way so that between their special xray machine & my response they know when they have reached the nerve ending. This had to be done in 3 spots on both sides of the spine.
Poor woman! Is there no end to the ways they find to torture people?

Lot of time, you can manage pain with over the counter stuff. Too much of the heavy duty stuff gets prescribed when the person really doesn't need it. Not helping with the country's drug problem. My son got wisdom teeth pulled and they gave him a huge prescription for narcotic pain pills. I never filled it. He did fine on a combo of Tylenol and Advil.
I agree wishing, I hate to have to take more medicine than I do. Unfortunately I'm allergic to the easy pain meds available. Leaves me with only the hardcore stuff. That's why they don't prescribe.
