I hate freaking NEEDLES
« on: July 20, 2006, 01:38:39 PM »
I just got back from the hospital. I have 2 blown disks the L3/4 and the L4/5. Both arre blown to the side and a bit forward. One is to the left and the other is to the right. It creates a WONDERFUL experiance of pain to have a nerve at the spinal column get impinged by a chunk of disk. It makes you leag very weak and it burns like fire from the hip to the toes. Loverly. This is far worse than the bone pain I had from bone surgery, broken bones, torn ligaments etc. all from the past.

Today they did the first real "treatment" other than physical therapy. I got 2 different injections into the area between the disks and next to the spinal column with both lidacaine and steroids. That feels SO damn good especially as they have to stop and start after checking placement of each needle using a flouroscope. Afterwards the lidacaine wears off and you are left with a very very pissed off injection site.............

I wanna kill Doctors, if they would just bend over my recliner so I can wrap my hands around their throat..........

I know I'm supposed to feel better tomorrow but it ain't tomorrow yet!:cry

I can remember the worst place I ever got a needle was in the upper front teeth...the one that makes your eye quiver and then water.

pretty much almost like me.

simple blood test they have to use a butterfly needle, and i still yelp and jump and can't look.


3 months in a hospital in HS, 3+ blood tests a day then, and 1000's since and i still have the same reaction.

OMG I don't even wanna talk about back pain..I was down for almost 2 months with my back last year. Slipped a disk...I can't remember which one though..I was pretty heavily medicated.:aok

And I don't like needles...which is strange cause I have 15 tattoos and not a bit afraid of a tat gun..which is a needle..but I cringe in terror when the doctor comes to harpoon me with one.

When I was in fifth grade, one of my testicles swelled to an unusually large and potentially hazardous size.

I went to the doctor with my father and the doctor believed that it must be full of fluid.

So... practicing his art of investigative medicine he decided that a hypodermic needle would be the best tool to test this theory.



He tested it eleven times.



To this day, if I mention the event, the color will drain from my father's face.

Spinal taps are a real pleasure. I had one a few years ago and the people there were so kind as to wheel the monitor around in front so I could witness the process firsthand. It was awesome.

OUCH reminds me of when I got a cortizone shot in my shoulder.
The doc pulls out this cartoon needle. This thing is like 2 feet long 12 inches of it are needle the rest looks like a friggin grease gun. He proceeds to tell me that 90% of this fluid in this friggin torpedo is novicane so it wont hurt much.  Well to tell the truth it didnt hurt at all. UNTILL THE FRIGGIN NOVICANE WORE OFF. It was like he had inserted a hot coal into my shoulder joint it friggin burned for hours. I hate doctors they are evil.

Rule # 5. There's no body cavity that cannot be reached with a 14-gauge needle and a good strong arm.

Mav I have L4/L5 compression fracture lower back and a I10/I11 compression right behind the heart towards the Heart.  Best thing I ever did on the L4/L5 was accupuncture. It will work wonders for you Bud..... the higher compression fracture cure is just a fetal position in the bath tub with the shower water on HOT screaming cuss words in many languages.

Good Luck to ya Bud, Prayers to ya,

Mac
