GOOD MORNING TO ALL MY SISTERS ON THE IAS BOARD, WOW SO MANY POSTING ON
THIS NERVE BLOCKING, THAT I HAD TO SHARE MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH
THE EPIDURAL INJECTIONS...MY DOCTORS ALL WANTED ME TO GO TO UCLA, THEY
WERE AT THE END OF THERE ROPES, NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE THEY COULD DO FOR
ME, SO THEY ALL DECIDED, MY MD, GI, PAIN MANAGEMENT, AND MY PHD, AGREED
TO TRY THIS LAST DITCH, FOR THE PAIN IN MY BACK DUE TO ADHESIONS, THIS
PROBLEM IS STILL SOMETHING I LIVE WITH DAILY.MY LAST ADHESION SURGERY
6YRS AGO, IS WHEN MY SURGEON SAW THE BAND OF ADHESIONS ON MY ENTIRE
LOWER BACK, YES THERE THE BAND TYPE OF ADHESION, AT THIS TIME MY SURGEON
WOULD NOT TAKE DOWN ANY ADHESIONS ON MY BACK, HE SAID THEY WERE SO BAD,
THAT HE WAS IN FEAR OF TOUCHING ANY OF IT, HE FEALT SO BAD THAT HE HAD
TO LEAVE SO MUCH BEHIND, KNOWING THE NERVE DAMAGE, AND PAIN IT WAS STILL
GOING TO CAUSE ME..WELL I WENT TO UCLE, I HAD THE EPIDURAL IN JECTIONS,
MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WAS AWFUL, THE WORST PAIN I HAVE EVER HAD,
THEY STUCK SO MANY NEEDLES IN MY BACK, THAT THE DOCTOR SAID FINALLY,
FORGET IT, ITS NOT GONNA WORK, HE SENT ME BACK TO LAS VEGAS, AND ASKED
IF I COULD STAY IN CALIF, HE WANTED TO BASICALLY EXPERIEMENT ON ME, NO
WAY.....BUT HE WAS A WONDERFUL DOCTOR, UP FRONT AND HONEST..IM SURE FOR
SOME THIS PROCEDURE WILL WORK, BUT THE BAND OF ADHESIONS ON MY BACK,
WELL THEY COULDNT EVEN GET THE NEEDLES TO GO THROUGH THAT STUFF, SO THIS
IS MY PERSONAL STORY ON THIS, AND NO I WILL NEVER DO THAT ONE AGAIN, BUT
SISTERS AGAIN, LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTORS, AND AGAIN, THIS HAS WORKED FOR
OTHERS, MYSELF NO...SO TAKE GOOD CARE, KNOW I LOVE YOU ALL SO
MUCH..SENDING TONS OF PRAYERS TO YOU ALL, AND KNOW YOUR IN MY HEART..GOD
BLESS YOU ALL, CINDY SHRUHAN
