#facetjointinjections

I have never regretted anything as much as I regret having the facet joint and sacroiliac joint injections. It’s been 13 days since they were done and my back is absolutely agony. I am still experiencing the hot/burning sensation in my left foot and yesterday I started to get sciatic pain in my left buttock 😣 It’s fair to say they’ve failed and now my back is worse than it was before the injections. My Plantar Fasciitis is getting bad again as I am unable to do the stretches the Podiatrist told me to do. I see my pain management Dr on the 19th so I’ll see what he has to say. I’m back to taking Tramadol 4 times a day and am going to ask my GP for enough Naproxen for me to take twice a day. I fucking hate this so much! #facetjointinjections #sacroiliacjointinjection #medialnerveblock #spinalinjections #plantarfasciitis #tendonitis #bulgingdisc #backpain #backpainsucks #lowerbackpain #chronicpain #chronicbackpain #chronicpainlife #chronicpainmeds #degenerativediscdisease #lumbarspondylosis #sciatica #sciaticapain #sciaticasucks #spoonie #spoonieblogger #spinepainwarrior http://www.spinepainwarrior.co.uk https://www.instagram.com/p/BoqwFm7AtIb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4wm4h65zu03r

Since the day after my spinal injections my back has been absolute agony. It’s a steady 7.5 spiking at 9 😣 This pain is just like the pain I had before I had the microdiscectomy surgery last year 😞 I don’t know if the nerves have been aggravated or if another disc has gone or if the injections have caused more damage 😱 My adjustable bed was my comfy place with minimal discomfort but now it’s painful & uncomfortable 😣 I’ve spoken to my pain management Drs secretary and after she spoke to him an appointment has been made for me to see him on the 19th of October. I’m hoping the pain eases by then, I’m just glad I’ve got some Oramorph to help when it gets too bad! I hate this level of pain and discomfort 😢 #facetjointinjections #sacroiliacjointinjection #medialnerveblock #spinalinjections #plantarfasciitis #tendonitis #bulgingdisc #backpain #backpainsucks #lowerbackpain #chronicpain #chronicbackpain #chronicpainlife #chronicpainmeds #degenerativediscdisease #lumbarspondylosis #sciatica #sciaticapain #sciaticasucks #spoonie #spoonieblogger #spinepainwarrior http://www.spinepainwarrior.co.uk https://www.instagram.com/p/BocmahZHyIc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tbe7v26jrdd2

All done! It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. The injections were painful but bearable. Now I’ve just got to wait to see if the work🤞 #facetjointinjections #sacroiliacjointinjection #spinalinjections #plantarfasciitis #tendonitis #bulgingdisc #backpain #backpainsucks #lowerbackpain #chronicpain #chronicbackpain #chronicpainlife #chronicpainmeds #degenerativediscdisease #lumbarspondylosis #sciatica #sciaticapain #sciaticasucks #spoonie #spoonieblogger #spinepainwarrior http://www.spinepainwarrior.co.uk (at Rugby St Cross Hospital.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoJpoIKg88p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2vl23liu1q97

I have arrived and been admitted to the day surgery ward at Rugby St. Cross hospital. My DR has the longest name! They asked if I have any questions but my mind is blank 🤔 I think I’m going to ask for a mild sedative as my anxiety levels are starting to rise. I know these injections are going to be painful and am not looking forward to them at all 😱 #facetjointinjections #sacroiliacjointinjection #spinalinjections #plantarfasciitis #tendonitis #bulgingdisc #backpain #backpainsucks #lowerbackpain #chronicpain #chronicbackpain #chronicpainlife #chronicpainmeds #degenerativediscdisease #lumbarspondylosis #sciatica #sciaticapain #sciaticasucks #spoonie #spoonieblogger #spinepainwarrior http://www.spinepainwarrior.co.uk (at Rugby St Cross Hospital.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoJcE3-g6s0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jxj6idd7waun

Facet joint injections are commonly used to determine what is causing back pain. Facet joint injections are primarily diagnostic injections, meaning that they help your doctor determine the cause of your back pain but may not provide you with any long-term relief from the pain.
