Walked 2 miles today. Went in for my epidural steriod injection today. I wasn't really all that nervous considering I was about to have several needles inserted into my back near the nerves. Things didn't start out too well as the nurse who was to hook up an IV had to stick me twice in one hand and once in the other before she finally got it in the vain. After that things went much smoother as they injected me with some happy drugs and went to work on the epidural stuff. I felt nothing until the doctor started to inject the steroids and then I felt pretty bad pain down the hamstrings of both legs which lasted for a few seconds and then was gone. I imagine he was pretty darn close to the nerves in that area so the pain was not totally unexpected, maybe just not to that degree. After about a 15 minute recovery we headed for home and I pretty much sacked out for the night. The area around the injection site was a bit sore but other than that everything felt pretty good. |
