Round Two of Cervical Epidurals
Okay, I have to spell that out for Hornblower...(Ken)...they are sticking a long needle into my neck. Whew...glad to be past that description:shock:
Another day, another visit to the doctors office, or in this case...to the hospital. Today is round two of cervical epidurals, to try to deaden a nerve that is being pinched by the foraminal stenosis between C-6 and C-7 on the left side of my neck. The first time this was done, a couple months ago, it did not improve the situation. We are hoping for better results today.
This is one where they have to inject a dye into my system, watch it under an x-ray machine, and once the dye indicates the correct pathway that they want to inject into, then they shoot me up with a nerve killing agent (boric acid...arsenic...cyanide...something like that):iduno:
I am in and out of the hospital in about 3 hours.
Oh well...between all these doctors visits, and my bike being in the shop right now for lightning repairs, it gives those folks in the Southeast a chance to catch up to me in their riding mileage.:icon_rolleyes:
