Hey Monkey! I am so glad you had a positive appointment today! He is going to help you figure this out! That is GREAT news! When will you have your x-ray? You will have to let me know the results. I hope the injection works for you. Unfortunately they never worked for me. Hugs:angel:

It does honestly sound like sciatic pain. My pain started 6 months ago and was only in my left groin. It didn't hurt unless I stood up from a sitting position, or bent forward, and then it was excruciating. Since then, it has spread to my left buttocks, down my left leg, and in my lower back...

No problem! I hope your child is okay. Yes I misunderstood. It would be three injections per year. I really really hope this relieves my pain. I have very sharp pain in my low back, in the middle, and I am concerned about the injection not helping with that. Oh well I guess I will find out!

Thanks Lynn! I do have a very good support system and plenty of family and frienRAB that will be able to help. I am well aware that I will not be able to lift Grace for a long time. It breaks my heart, but I also want to get this taken care of. I want to have more babies too, and I cannot...

Thank you both for your responses. I am sorry that you too have to deal with this. It is no fun! There have been nights when I cry because it hurts so bad and really limits what I am able to do physically. I really don't know anything about the extent of my condition. I visited Urgent Care...

That is so funny that you mention getting your haircut because I plan on doing the same thing! The other night I was talking to my mom, and we were discussing things that needed to be done before the big day. Getting my haircut is one of them! Lynn- I am hoping that my age will aid in my...

I wasn't happy with my PT program either. All it did was cause me excruciating pain. I also noticed that everyone else had the EXACT same exercises and routines as they were having me do. I once asked the lady stretching next to me what she was here for, and it was arthritis. Something...

Hi- My sciatic pain started in only my left leg, but now I get it in both. It gets so bad sometimes that I feel like I want to cut my legs off. Those are the times when I want to go to the ER. My toes also go nurab in my left leg. It was after my discogram that the surgeon said "you will...

Hi! Sorry you didn't get any pain relief. And I'm sorry you will be having surgery right before Christmas. I hope it goes well for you. My doctor changed his mind and is having me do another injection. I see him again Jan 13th and then we will most likely be scheduling a 2 level fusion.

Hello- I haven't had a fusion yet but am already dealing with the depression. I am in horrible pain, and was placed on disability from work a month ago. I have a 16 month old little girl and have a difficult time taking care of her by myself. I often need to call a family meraber for help...

Yes I have been taking hydrocodone as well for the past week and a half. I pretty much have to take it every night or else I toss and turn in bed with pain. Nothing else works! Good luck!

Thank you both for your responses! I am still waiting for the surgeon's PA to call me back, but Lynn, I was also going to ask her about that cyst. On all the searches I did, all I could really find was a synovial cyst, and that sounRAB like maybe what it could be. But then again, maybe not...

I had my first ever steroid injection today. The epidural medication they put in felt great, although it only lasted for about 30 minutes. I was told it would last 2-4 hours. So, I had a very brief moment of relief before the pain began to return, and now I am in unbelievable pain. I know...

Good for you to apply for unemployment. It isn't much, you are right, but you will manage. I was laid off from my job last Dec, right after returning from maternity leave. I received unemployment while I looked for a new job. If I remeraber correctly, I got $300/ week. I have no clue how we...

Hi jan- I couldn't agree more with having to me our own health advocates! This PT place I am going to is supposed to be the best in the area. It is called Physicians Neck and back Clinic. When I was with the PT guy at my last appointment, the lady next to me was doing the exact same...

I feel your pain! I am only 27! I have a 14 month old daughter and I have a very hard time taking care of her by myself, plus I have become a burden to my husband and family. I have spondylolisthesis, which means that I have a fracture in my L5 pars, and it is causing my L5 vertebrae to slip...

Thank you for your responses! The more I think about the whole thing, the more scared I am becoming. I am really nervous about the incision in my abdomen, I am having a 360 as well. This morning I laughed and told my husband he should watch the procedure to see if any of my intestines are...

Well I think you need to see a doctor, and have an x-ray and an MRI done. I especially wouldn't let a chiropractor work on an injury like that without knowing what exactly the injury is. I did and my situation has only gotten worse. Are you still riding? Please go to your doctor! You won't...

Thank you Crystal- The doctor actually called me back and they did find something on my x-ray. They just didn't know while I was still at the office because a radiologist hadn't looked at them yet. (the doctor I saw was looking for evidence of a herniation or for bone cancer) They found...

Hi Tami- I am glad you are feeling okay considering. I am thinking about finding a new doctor, but it will be such a pain after all the tests I have already gone through. I will be loosing my job, it is just a matter of when. Had I not been put on disability, they would be laying me off now...
