I had my trigger point injections today. These are to relax the muscles in my back so they can regrown to attach better to my spine.
First, my appointment was at 1:50. I left the house at 12:45, and got there at 1:30. We always have to be 15 minutes early there. At 2:15 I ask how far behind they are. The lady says "Dr. XXXXX is always an hour behind". What the heck? Why schedule appointments and ask me to be early if he is so late?
Anyway I go back about 10 minutes later so it wasn't too bad. He first sprayed something FREEZING all over my back. Then he went on a tight muscle hunt. He took his thumb and pushed HARD on certain spots. Must be typical places people get these knot issues. Then he would stick the needle in and inject it then push some more. I quit counting around 10...Ryan found at least 12 spots on my back.
I am supposed to be sore for 2-3 days, then the relief will last 2-3 weeks. In 2 weeks, I get a second epidural so we will see if this leads anywhere.
OH, and I got more pills...I go to the pharmacy and pull my number, which was 877...they were on 844!!! So I sat for an hour, but at least it's free...!

Man that's a lot of waiting today. That sucks. Hope it feels better.
Hope you are feeling better today! Sorry it has been so rough for you with the injections!
Man That was a long day for you then. Were you in pain waiting for your pills?? That just makes it worse doesn't it?
Sounds like a sh*tty day. Hope you feel better soon and are not too sore. I am working Mondays, Wednesdays, and half days on Thursdays. I'll call you soon, or feel free to call me also.

I know what you mean about waiting... dr's are never on time. So frustrating, but I hope it helps! And too funny about Natalie potty training!!
