I have a nerve block in my lower back where my disk has deteriorated due to osteoporosis. It hurst when I walk. The nerve block and maybe another one will determine if I can get relief from an ablation which doesn't last so long but can be redone.

Hi all. I went to sleep early and woke up and I think the swelling on my back has died down and the block worked. I will have another block and if that works too I will have an ablation around my bones that have deteriorated in my lower back. After that the doctor said she would try a block in my left knee too and then if that worked another one and hopefully an ablation.

I will get a second nerve block in my back and then in about 2 weeks. Then I will get an ablation if that nerve block works. IUhave 6 needs left and right back. But I feel the back still but I hope I get the ablation where they burn the nerves.

Hello! Maybe for December, something about maintaining over the holidays? I just don't want to be heavier a month from now, I can live with staying the same.
I hope all had a nice Thanksgiving!
I will be off work for 6-8 weeks. My surgery is Monday, and I'm scheduled to start the PT on Wednesday. I will be walking immediately with the aid of a walker. Total recovery is about a year but significant recovery within the first 6 months. The hardest part for me is the paperwork, paperwork, paperwork! I'm stupid about forms. Forms for insurance, forms for leave from work, bills as they come in -although most is covered by insurance as I met my annual deductible last month.
Amy, sorry you are having so much back pain!

Scott took a picture of the 3 black and blue spots. I had 6 needles I uploaded someohow the picture when I mailed iit to me on my phone and down loaded it on my computer and dragged it to the nurse for the doctor. I don't know if I want this again. My left knee hurts so much.
