I had an appointment with a Specialist Pain Management Nurse this morning. She asked if I was OK with the date of my appointment to have the injections. I have heard nothing from them so it was lucky she asked. I will be having sacral steroid/anaesthetic injections at the end of the month! This means I might be pain free for up to three months including over Christmas.
This was a Brucie Bonus for me this morning as I've been dreading this pain managent course for weeks, had no sleep last night and wrenched my bad shoulder trying to switch on the shower switch (the cord had snapped so I had to reach up and pull the 2" piece of cord that is left dangling there). The appointment lived up to my expectations and started with a cartoon of how the brain receives signals from the body. I asked that it be stopped and said it was patronising and that last night I had watched a presentation by consultant anaesthetists who are designing better ways to diagnose spinal problems and that I hardly need to be told that when my hand touches a table my brain tells me that it is a table! I kid you not. And I have to have six weeks of this guff.
