Default ESIs

All but the first was done under flursocopy and the the first was BRUTAL!
The rest were a walk in the park and done at outpatient surgery centers with the first few years w/local anesthetic only. In Florida the doc would NOT do them with local only. Since then, I just prefered not knowing when it was done (go ahead, knock me out)~ the effects usually were within a day to three (calming of pain) and last up to 1 month at least. Sometimes longer relief up to 3=4 months but maybe just broke the pain cycle~ Maybe that's what happened this time.
All I know is that my back has been hurting since this foot surgery and I'd have been pleased to have an ESI to calm things down. Guess I'll just have to start walking and getting it together on my own. Hopefully~
