I'm going for my steroid injection into my spine this afternoon, I'm on the verge of tears I'm so scared.
Update
Well I was finally allowed home at 8 this evening. The procedure wasn't as horrible as I thought it was going to be. but was still 'traumatic' for me
I couldn't move my legs for ages, the registrar was a bit concerned, so wouldn't let me home until I could weight bear. The injection for my sciatic nerve was the worst bit, the pain was pretty bad, and I though my calf was going to explode
. After that there was plenty of tugging and x-ray taking. The poor nurse that was with me had her hand squeezed to death! Not only did I yelp like a wounded dog, I also snorted like an excited pig during one particular painful part, much to my embarassment. However I am now home, with 3 holes in my back which also looks like I've been sunbathing thanks to the betadine disinfectant fluid!
Thank you all for your good wishes
