Do not get a epidural. Shit sucked major ass. I am now in more pain than before.
 
Jeffy likes pain.
 
This is a reflection on the shooter not the procedure.

Who gave you the shot?

Man that sucks.
I gotta agree with skip though..if it's placed right it should really be bliss , not pain :(

Does a blood patch work with theseveral type of epidurals? I don't even know.
 
My son got them for a long time, so much so that he has scar tissue and some discs won't accept it, just pools around the joint. He had a RF nerve procedure and it grew back. 32 years old and living on fentanyl patches.
A fucked back sucks, I feel for you bro.

Please read and follow the board rules.
 
a good friend gets those and he looks like a kid again, he swears by it
 
When I had flare ups I could not wait to go in as I would usually be 100% not long after getting the procedure.
he was in a pretty good bike wreck on the 405 freeway, befroe xmas he was wimpering like a baby at work he couldnt get and the wing of an airplane without sounding like some one giving birth. now he get around completely fine
 
O its workin for sure. But it fucking sucked. Dude just jabbed his harpoon straight into my neck and was bouncing up n down on the damn thing to break through the epidural soace..i am feelin pretty good though. I was twitchin in my sleep n shit. It definitely did some mavic in there wince its in full swing now though. But at first my neck was killing me.
 
I have a second appointment soon, you're saying don't do it?

Good lookin out fam

Now I'm not sure what to do... I'll see what this next guy says.

I've be a little deflated lately. Just sortve discouraged by all of this. Lots and lots going on in life... :|

When my doctor recommended the epidural injection he said it was all about the shooter and that is why who he recommended was so good at it.

Make sure the doctor you use has the qualifications for this task.

Anesthesiologist is best by what I understand, but it has been a long time.
 
Hang in there and try to stay positive. You'll get through this I'm sure of it, just a tough time right now. Many of us have had these times in our lives and although I wouldn't want to go through it again it made me a stronger, better, more whole person in the end. Just look at Low T Man. You can do it.
 
I had a vasectomy that caused me pain for a year before a surgery took 80% of the pain away, and steroids took care of the rest of the 20%. Think back pain is tough, try living with the feeling you've been kicked in the balls every minute, of every day for a year with doctors not sure what to do. Dark times my friend, very dark times.

The one I've seen and the one I'm seeing are both anesthesiologist. The second guy I am seeing has 30+ of experience and works in my health system. So I dunno.. We'll see.


I'm flaring up today. I can't find any relief no matter which way I lay or sit. I'm headed to the gym to walk on the treadmill and get my heart rate up.

I did a light chest workout yesterday.

This is so nagging... I can't describe the feeling. It feels like you are jamming my vertebrae together and its bulging outward nonstop, 24 hours a day.

Yup

Same goes for donatong blood. The ones who get it in right the first time without squirming around are good.

I don't know that I would compare donating blood to ESI injections, but I get what you're saying :)

Oh for sure, im just supporting the good nurse/anesthesiologist position. Only time ive seen someone get an epidural was my wife when she gave birth. She said he only hurt for a second an then her whole bottom half of her body went numb.

Those days are long behind me now. I often think about them. Especially when I was hammering a fifth or two every night during my divorce.

But hey, come around my neck of the woods well hit a workout and grab some food and drink some...... Jim beam.



And cuddle.

Hahaha, fuck!! A fifth or 2? Damn!

The liver is an amazing organ, that is for sure. Hell yeah brother anytime! - the bean. We could go find us some beans to play with, after the hardcore CrossFit training.
 
Well guys the relief from the cervical epidural injection was short lived it was nice while it lasted.

You just got one? I'm headed in next week to get another consultation. I'm starting to get nerve pain now. Yesterday I got out of the car and I had pain shoot down my back, to my buttock, to my inner thigh down to my foot. It was something that I've never experienced before..
 
Ive only had that one esi so far and it was awesome for the week it lasted but back to square one for now until my next appointment. My worst symptom outside of the obvious pain is BY FAR the extremely bad headaches. They last for anywhere from 2 to 4 days at a time. I feel for ya bromigo.

I am doing better. It comes and goes, constant pain around 5. I've been off pain meds for 2 weeks. I honestly don't want to live off pain meds. I was upset at the last guy... He was like "I want you off all meds and you really need this ESI in your back."

Cool bro, why don't you sell it some more. He just didn't give a shit about treating me. His excuse (which is in fact true over time) was "pain meds lower your T, you don't ever need those, you're too young."

He had no idea that I know a thing or two about T. I've even written a research paper on that shit.

Anyway, rant done. I really hope this next guy is legit. I just want someone I can be honest with and be honest to me. It really is hard establishing a legit relationship with PCPs or specialists. I don't normally fall back on the fact that I've worked in the medical field for years but when I say that I definitely know that don't think I'm a liar or some shmoe off the street. It's sortve un fair really. But I'll take it.
 
I took off the butrans patch after 5 days. It caused a bad bad bad amount of acne on my upper back. The site where it was placed caused a rediculous amount of redness and acne. On top of that, the 10mcg patch offered me zero relief... On to the next option...
 
Hows the back situation so far?

Feeling a tad better. But I've basically stopped squatting and leg pressing. Leg pressing is way worse because it shifts my lumbar around too much. I can literally feel the bones shift and hear them pop/grind. So I basically do what I can.

I did 500 air squats yesterday while watching lost. I put my automann between my legs (it stands about 1.5 feet off the ground??) and did sets of 25 with a one second hold at the bottom. Just focused on contacting all of my muscles the entire time.....


Just doing what I can... First injection coming up. I have to at least try it. I told myself no more than 3 total.
