Got my epidural steroid injection this afternoon finally!
What a weird experience! Initially I wasn’t nervous but then when I was taken into the room with the table and equipment I got dizzy! Cold numbing cream then came the jabs and a weird hot feeling in my pelvis and legs and I thought maybe I peed. Sure felt like it
Let’s see what happens! I’m eager to feel better

TMI, TMI female leakage eew!

Hope it helps. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers

Hey, Smasho. My mom used to get those injections on a regular schedule (as often as they allowed it) for back pain. One possible note of encouragement: She was always sore for a day after the shot, then much, much better! So if your shots are for back pain and you still hurt tomorrow, don't be discouraged! Wait a day and things should be improved.

Good luck!

I hope it gives you much relief fellow canine trapper with the psychedelic chaps

Hope it gives you some relief.

I hope you become pain free. Since you are on your feet all day at the vet's office, it might be good to get some orthopedic shoes. They often help with back pain too.

Praying for lasting back pain relief for you.

hope you feel better soon,

I hope things work, the injections I’ve had has been in to the muscles around the spine for disc herniation, the doctor didn’t want to do direct injections for infection fears, even then pain was very intense but after awhile things felt a lot better, took time but it did help. At first I thought you took too big of a pinch of tobacco.

Well how did it turn out after it was all done is it better or too soon to tell yet? Hang in there it’s a tough thing to deal with me and my chiropractor are good friends.

Thanks everybody!

Law Dog too soon to tell but I’m sitting on the couch watching Dracula Untold and I’m not in pain. Feeling like maybe someday soon I can wreak havoc again!

Those coyotes won't stand a chance next season.

If I feel good enough I’ll skin em with my teeth Kyle!!

Watching Dracula tonight and The Gorgon tomorrow night are you going to leave the couch.

You're going to need a different kind of shot for that.

FYI

The numbing agent will wear off before the steroid kicks in
So if you wake up in the morning thinking that didn't last long, give it a few days for the steroid to do it's job

We see about 60 patients a day
Do everything from trigger points to kyphoplasties in our clinic

Thank you for that. I just told my mom I felt like I can take down an elk. Maybe I’m jumping the gun lol

Gotcha!!!!!

Poor Chuck! You'll torture the Poor man to death now.

Hope it helps you feel better, Smash.
