Been refered to have pain relief injections in my back but want to know if they hurt and do they actually help?
I’m a real phobic when it comes to needles and they’ve told me they can sedate me first.But surely that would mean a needle!!
I have been on prescription painkillers for sometime now and they have no effect.Injections are the last resort but i want my life back!!!
Thanks to everyone for your support and advice so far.I think i’ll just have to be brave.Oh and try the Valium!!
Had shots in my upper right shoulder area back in 1975 after a whiplash accident – I had no pain there until the Dr. said there was and even then didn’t feel much except about once a year for a decade or so after the shots.
I felt the shots were meaningless and only meant to jack up my medical expenses for the eventual insurance settlement – could have done without them – my lawyer arranged for the Dr.
Try moving every 30 minutes instead of every 90. If you are only 7 months pregnant, it is very unlikely the baby has dropped, but is just getting bigger and therefore, more uncomfortable.
Learn about the structures in the low back [lumbar spine] that can cause pain. This includes disc ruptures or herniations, stenosis, arthritis, disc collapse and slippage.
