This morning I had the first of my Facet Nerve Blocks on the left side (1 of 2 diagnostic procedures).
There was a Fellow assisting the doc who did my block. I don't know if it's because it's a different side or if it's because he was not as skilled as Dr Girgis...but my god.
Earlier, I was walking around with no issues. Hubby said it looked like I was doing pretty good movement wise.
However, the injection side HURTS. Now, 6 hours later my lower back is irritating me. I am so sore. The site still hurts and the nerve block seems to have worn off. I feel like it's swollen down on my lower back.
I'm going to take some pain meds in a bit, since I can't use my pain cream. It did NOT hurt like this at all when i had the first 2 facet nerve blocks. UGH. I go through this again in a month.
Just needed to vent......
