Yesterday I went to the pain management clinic to get my facet block injections. Basically they numbed me in a couple spots on my neck, then gave me the nerve block shots which went in deep to some nerves that come off of my spine.... right around my C2 and C3 vertebrae. I'm not gonna lie... it wasn't the most pleasant experience. It didn't hurt really, but just tremendous amounts of pressure. Anyways, they said that it may take a couple days to notice anything, and that I'd have a really sore neck for a few days.... they weren't kidding. No help so far today, as I've also got a rather bad headache. If however it ends up working, which they told me would be a 50% reduction in my headaches, then they would do another one in about a month to make sure this one wasn't a fluke. If that one worked also, then that opened up all kinds of new roads, such as freezing the nerve, burning it, etc.... permanantly blocking it. So I'll keep you updated as to whether they work or not.
Also today, we finally closed on our house that we sold in Radford. About a week or so late, but at least that burden is off our shoulders..... now if things will just work out for the one we wanna buy down here.....
