Had another SNB on Tuesday Howdy everyone. Been too busy lately to check in and hope the majority are okay. Had another injection Tuesday. They hit L5-S1 on the left side. The correct part of my leg (the part where I feel pain) went numb, so I'm hopeful that the result will be positive. The doc said if I get any relief at all we'll know which level we are dealing with. I definitely had numbness in the painful part. I still couldn't walk alone safely by the time I got home. Really hoping for some relief! It's been many months now and I'm SOOOO tired of the pain! Even though I've had pain for most of my life, it's really bugging me. Would truly love to have some time where I can enjoy life without having to worry about how much pain a particular activity is going to cause. Maybe Santa can bring me some pain free days for Christmas! I would be a firm believer if that could happen!
