Default Had Facet Joint Block yesterday

Well I survived the facet joint block yesterday - compared to ADR surgery this was not a bid deal. I was given slight sedation through an IV and the cortizone was shot through both sides of my neck.

So far I have no relief. He said it could take 3-4 days. At least I don't feel worse this morning.


I still am in disbelief that I am going down this path on my neck after low back surgery. It feels like deja vu.
