Mary,
Maria's post reminded me of something, GET THE SEDATION! I LOVE the sedation, a couple of hours of pain relief, awesome sleep and the only 'margarita' your going to get for awhile! My hubby is all tough guy and doesn't get it. He literally walks out of there all feeling good. He even went to work the same day, it was an instant relief for him. His first one quit working after 6 months, the second one has lasted 18 months and is still working. I look forward to having any procedure done, just for the couple of rare hours of pain relief. It also burns like hell when you get the lidocaine. I was crying and screaming in one of the procedures (they didn't give me enough sedation). I was trying not to move; but couldn't help it. It took over an hour for a simple procedure, because they had to keep giving me more drugs to get me to 'sleep'. I also come out crazy hungry. The first thing I ask for is a Dr. Pepper, then I make my hubby take me to a drive through (it's like drunken hunger). Good Times.
Maria- I am so jealous of you getting injection relief! Not jealous of your back issues though.. how are you doing?
