Dreaded pain does that pain injection make worse
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi I'm a newbee to this site.
had this dreaded illness 10yrs now,
can anyone help, years ago due to the pain of fibro I was offered them pain relief injections, I had them about 3 times, didn't really help much.
but last time I had it done (7yrs ago) the doctor had hard job putting needle in my lower back left side dimple (hope that makes sense)
it took her 15mins, I was in tears an nurses told her to stop, she didn't, she finely done it an after being wheeled back to day ward in tears, a few mins after I couldn't feel my left leg, in a panic I pressed button nurse came then got doctor to check, she told me oh gave you a bigger dosage your be ok, I couldn't walk. Told to get a wheel chair an go to A&E...
well move forward ever since the pain in my lower back never went but has always been bad, to point that if I could reach with an electric drill I would frigging kill the pain that way. It's constant and like I've got someone pushing a pointed object in it. I'm sure she done damage, I've begged my gp to refer me for tests as this pain is not right, but all he says is to have more injections, yeah like I'm gona do that. Also I have fallen over lots of times, my left leg goes numb an without warning over I go. Last time I was crossing a very quite road (lucky for me) down I went contents of my handbag rolling down the road.
Anyway can anyone tell me have you had them injections if so did it make you worse

It does souns as if it could be your back , even tho I have the dreaded fibromyalgia , I had bad back pain . couldnt quite make out if it was my back or my leg that kept giving first which made me end up on the floor , i was unstable , eventually I had a spinal MRI scan and it showed 3 hot spots where the discs where pressing on the cord , oestoarthritis there as well , knew I had it elsewhere , having fibromyalgia dosnt help either , but ask if you can have a scan maybe you have pressure in your spine which is squeezing your leg nerves making you fall and causing this pain , injections are only temporary for a certain length of time , maybe also physio might help , but after you have had a scan , then you will know what you are dealing with.
Hope today is easier for you x

thanks for replies. The part of my lower back (left bum cheek as they call it is you click on images of fibo it shows what part I'm on about)
its one of the hot points, I had 4 of the pain relief injections each time, hip left side, spine my c.section scar (had adhensions) an the lower back.
was done to help with my fibro pain.
few yrs ago I did have MRI scan, X-rays etc, all showed up was I've one bone more on one side than other! And hot points in my spine.
all they say is it's part of fibro. But getting worse, I've doctors tomora an yes I'm going to be assertive, an I always write down stuff as my mind always foggy an forgetful... I'm at the point where each day is a struggle due to pain an this frigging back issue is driving me crazy.
I let you know how I get on at docs,
hope you have a good day ladies x
