Back Pain and Pain Management, Revisited

Unfortunately, the initial shot I received for my back pain hasn’t been overly effective. Things are improved (I can actually stand up from a sitting position without much effort), but I’m still experiencing discomfort during the day.

While the mornings are still a bit challenging on waking, they’ve gotten better. But I’m still struggling to remain standing for long periods of time.

So today, I’m returning to my pain management doc for a second round – and to get another shot.

Similar to last time, I got another shot in the same spot.

Interestingly, the pressure and discomfort was a bit lessened this time around. I guess that makes sense, since I’m a bit more recovered from where I was, originally.

Overall, the pressure and discomfort was less this time around. I was waiting for things to feel bad/worse, and was surprised when I was told everything was done.

Here’s hoping things feel a little better, in a few days.
