Unfortunately I was in agony all weekend. I was back at the chiro yesterday and today. Yesterday he suggested contacting my physiatrist because even though we've loosened up the muscles, the pain has not gotten any better. I was able to speak to Dr. Panagos today and he put be on Prednisone for a few days. You take 6 the first day, then 5, then 4, etc. I drove the pharmacist lady nuts because I kept ringing to see if the script had been called in. Finally it was about 15.30 so I went across the street and picked it up. I took 6 pills around 16.00 and so far nothing. I read online sometimes it can work v. fast, which is what my dr said, but he also said it could take days. I don't have days! I am so worn out from no sleep and all this pain that I just want to scream (I've been doing the almost daily crying meltdowns already).
I asked him about an injection like I had in my hips, and he said something similiar could be done but since it's the spine it would be in at least two joints, as opposed to the one. He said if the Prednisone doesn't work (G-d forbid!!!) then that would be the next step.
Please please please let this work and quickly. I am truly at my wits end!
