Another injection into my neck on Monday. I didn't think too much of the fact that it was going to be performed in a surgical suite instead of the doctor's office this time. I should have. It danced to the tune of the difference between an office visit co-pay and an out-patient surgical deduction. Several hundred dollars difference! Still the same amount of post needle soreness. And apparently still the same resumption of chronic pain once that wore off. Not much to show for several hundred dollars. On the plus side, I did have the same oh so handsome surgical staff.
It's amazing how much junk piles up when you check out of daily life for a few days. It's taking me longer to catch up than I took off to begin with. Sigh.
I'm also feeling the lack of morning exercise. I've found that a walk every other morning does wonders for my daily energy level and general outlook on life. But I am resuming my walks tomorrow morning. And even better, I should also be able to resume my herbal remedies soon so the pain level should drop shortly thereafter.
I guess I'm going to have to take a serious look at full-blown spinal surgery.
