so i have to blog about this. a little background first. i was in a car accident in december of 10. that day i started having a pulse through the roof that was painful. i felt like my heart hurt all the time and the pain would go straight into my back and wrap around my back. then started a long journey of many doctors trying to find out what the heck was wrong with me. l.o.n.g. i almost went to the mayo clinic. this time period was a nightmare.
fast forward to now and after an mri in july my problem was found. i have a herniated disc that rubs against my spinal cord and i also have a fractured vertebrae. painful much? omg yes.
so the point of this blog post today? yesterday i had my second epidural injection. those are done in a set of 3 at 2 weeks apart. it's a first non invasive attempt to avoid surgery. the first one i bounced out of recovery and went to dinner that night. well the second one i had yesterday was seriously awful. the pain i went through was unbearable and 24 hours later here i am in just as much pain. i cant even lift my arms up and my back not only hurts from the inside out, it hurts to simply touch it on the outside. i have one more epidural to go and i'm praying it's more like the first because this second has be terrible! vent over
