O.k. It's been a crappy week, but I survived!! I had the nerve conduction test which showed I have some mild neuropathy in L5. I had a MRI which showed I had bulging from L2-3 L3-4 L-4-L5 and L5-S1 with slight canal narrowing. I had the facet joint block. I will not be doing that again. I need to vent so here we go.. The nurse couldn't find a vein so she stuck me several times. The doctor stuck me twice, but Praise God he found a vein on the second time. They wheeled me into the ER with no meds prior. I climbed over on to the Table and they but a BP cuff on me, hooked me up to Oxygen and put the surgical drape over me and then when the DR came in he wanted to know if I wanted some "happy Juice" they gave me a shot in my channel lock and proceded. I could feel everything!!! They gave me some more fentayl in my channel lock and still I could feel everything. I cried the whole time and when they took me back to my curtain, they took my BP 220/175 and they made me wait until my BP went down which it did to 200/140 and they sent me home and told my husband not to let me take any meds for 3 days. I cried all the way to the car and all the way home. I called them the next day and they are closed on Friday. I spoke to the answering service and they said they can't page the dr for pain, HE IS A PAIN DR!!?? I was to go to the ER. My husband went to work yesterday and I was home alone and now he's gone camping until the Monday. So I'm home alone until then. They pain has eased some but is still awful. Has anyone
