Back Problems

I have had spinal injections, sacrial joint injections, and am scheduled for some other kind of injection (cant remember the term) for a ligiment between the sacrium and the lumbar. They are not particularly painful, compared to the pain already there.  The nurses at the surgery center give me an IV and the doc orders verced (sp?) to keep me calm.  Then he does the injections.  There is a website that describes back pain symptoms, causes, and treatments very well.   http://www.spine-health.com/ You might gleen some good info on the site that will help.

Hi Carol, Just wanted you to know I am praying for you. I went through terriable pain a long time before I had a total hip replacement. I was confined at home for months. The DR. didn't know exectly what was wrong with me because I didn't have all the symptsoms that most hip people have. It was REALLY BAD.

I am sorry you are in so much pain.

Thank you Tena for your prayers and thoughts.  I love your little dog.  It's a Shih-Tzu isn't it?  I had to have mind put to sleep 3 years ago.  He was the best dog, now I have a Pomeranian.  He is the love of my life.  Other than my husband of course...heheh
