GO FIGURE?

    I had my scheduled "lumbar facets" last week; they hurt terribly & did not seem to take effect as quickly as usual.  I think I've figured out why.  Mom, visiting me  here, was diagnosed with an infection.  I may have acquired that.  So, my numbing shots prior to the injections would not have been very effective.  I must now go to check about that.

   Yes, the injections did make an improvement; I had been so miserable for the several weeks before.  It seems as tho they wear off noticeably.

    I think that after the holidays, I will go in for the facets in a different part of my back ... the lower rib section.  That may keep everything from hurting too badly before the next scheduled "lumbar facets".

     REMARKABLY ... the pain at the base of my neck ... which was a newer problem ... and had been getting terrible ... WENT AWAY!  WHY?  WHO KNOWS?
