I had an injection on Wednesday, basically a nerve block with a mega dose of steroids mixed in. It hurt like hell. I went into the little OR on my own two feet and came out in a wheelchair. It was one of those, "Surely this is not a good thing" moments. If anything it's made it worse because now those muscles are sore from me tensing up while there was a needle the size of a lead pipe in my back. I wasn't able to walk the rest of the day because my thighs were numb, then Thursday wasn't much better and I actually hurt worse than I had before Wednesday, not counting the sore muscles.
It turns out that the ligament isn't torn, it's an actual disc itself. On top of that another one is herniated, and one is a bulging disc. He's hoping to be able to get me started with PT by next time I go in, which is a couple weeks away.
I'm really so on the edge of my breaking point. This has to help.
