The first couple of weeks after the last (2nd) injection worked for about 2 weeks. The last couple, especially the last week, I've been in agony. I feel like I'm back at square one. Started PT on Friday and went okay. Went again yesterday and woke up feeling like someone was crushing my spinal cord. Joy. I spoke to the dr's office yesterday after lots of back and forth it was decided that I would be squeezed in this Friday. I had told them anytime before I leave for Italy in October, and first they said they couldn't do it until October. I quickly told them that the dr had PROMISED that if I needed another one he'd squeeze me in before my trip. And to be fair Dr. Ahmed kept to his promise. G-d willing the third time is a charm. Fingers crossed, et al.
Btw, was so bad a week ago Tuesday I took a pain killer (Ultracet) at 10.30, with food. After I ate lunch I started to get nauseous around 14.30 and was still feeling ill at 20.30. It did NOTHING for the pain and all I felt was sick for 10 hours! If anything at least it proved to the annoying resident at the dr's that the drugs didn't work and they are NOT a solution to ending my pain. I wouldn't want to take them every day anyway.
