Tom, thanks.
My best wishes to you and the doctors who will do the surgery and treat you.
My wife will be going for her first series of pain killer injections tomorrow at the pain clinic. She did these pain killer treatment injections three years ago and they were very helpful. She did have almost three years pain free. I hope these upcoming treatments give her the same relief as the last time.
This time she aggravated her situation on Thanksgiving when she bent over to open the oven range. Her condition is such that she has some deteriorated and herniated discs, and they are pressing on the nerve that runs down her left leg. She has constant pain in that leg...it isn't a sharp pain, but it is constant....always there. The usual oral pain medications, both over the counter and prescription, do not have any effect on her pain level.
