Well it's finally happened. I was finally seen by a pain management doctor, and I received my first spinal injection.

I was definitely expecting it to hurt more. There was some burning from the local numbing injections I was given. And even before those I was sprayed with this really really really cold spray so the procedure was fairly painless all considered.

So I'm in bed for the day, I got myself drinks and bed friendly food like Lunchables and jello. Of course that didn't stop me from getting Jello goo all over the place LOL. But I'm supposed to take it easy, and it's supposed to hurt after the painkillers go away which it is starting to now. So bed rest ibuprofen and ice pack on the location. This is only the first injection and I'm supposed to get one again on the 12th. Then a third one early May. After the third shot I will then go to getting one once every 3 to 4 months. Because apparently if they give you the whole thing all in one sitting it'll actually melt your fucking bones
That's terrifying.

So once it's fully integrated into my system it's supposed to help me with my degenerative disc disease, my bilateral sciatica. And possibly help with my tailbone pain if the two are connected. I'm excited to see how this all progresses I've been dying for this 4 years.s
