My tooth is gone , but boy did that hole in my mouth speak when the novocain wore off. but my percocet is taking care of it, i just need to be on a 4 hour schedule again.
I got a copy of the MRI report, although not one of the actual MRI as i cannot make heads or tales out of them.
I do have bilateral facet arthropathy at L4-L5 and L5-S1. That might be why my doc decided to do the injections first before removing some of the screws which may be causing some nerve irritation.
My injections are set for next wed. (june 15th) at 7:30 arrival time for me. Hope they really work this time.

What type of pain does facet arthropathy cause in the area I have mentioned from my MRI????????
