Re: back injections/Marla Jeanne

[Guest guest]

You are right with the injections for DDD as I had 2 done and it hurt sooo bad

going in and the next few days I seemed to hurt more, but the needle going in,

felt like it was going right through to my pelvic bone!!!! I thought he was all

done and he took all this time with the numbing and still felt the injection

itself!! I would not go back for rest of TX, as he did tell me I believe more

like 70/30 of working, only some are lucky enough to work, but I don't like my

back area messed with.

tell me if this was for herniated discs or what specifically causes your back

pain? I have DDD and was told that injections would only be a 50/50 chance of

helping.

If you are talking about facet injections in the joints of your spine I had 2

joints done on one side last Tuesday and go back next week for two on the other

side. They really gave me a lot of relief. If the relief lasts awhile the pain

doctor said he could do it with " heat " and the effect would last for up to 8 - 8

months. That would me wonderful.

Hope your appointment goes well,

Gentle hugs,
