I have been diagnosed with Facett's diseased of my lower lumber spine. I have been layed off my work Monday a week ago due to I cannot function and do my duties as a Pharmacist Tech. I had to cut my full time hours back to 6 hrs a day and I cant even make it 2. You stand 99 per cent of job.
Being that I have to bend, stretch,twist,reach over my head lift. Well I have left there so many time crying and barely able to walk to my car so I could get home to take the medications Im on to help with the pain. Cause I can only take a pain pill and it only last 3 hrs if that. And the nerve and muscle med's knock you out. Ive been living with this for 4 going 5 yrs now. On my 3rd pain specialist. Funny Insurances have the say on whom you see. I much rather see my PCP for this for I trust him with my life.
I had an ablation to the lower spine meaning burning/melting the root nerves to those facett. Facett's are on the top and bottom of each vertebra in your spine the help with the cushioning and flexability of the veterbra as you move or twist.
I prayed and with great HOPE that the ablation would help take the pain away. I feel something went wrong as the 3rd one was beening done due to the extreme out of this world pain that was felt during the time of the treatment. I yelled. The pain was so unbearable. It was like PURE White HOT LIGHTING went down my back around my hip and down the back of my leg to my foot.
I now sit at home go to therapy do my exercise that makes it hurt worst. It has increased my Blood Pressure way to high. I only sleep after I take my load of meds and that is for 3 hrs then I have to be on a heating pad wait to be able to take the pain,muscle meds and hopefully I can keep pain at menium until I can take PAIN PILL. If pain gets to be to much the medication takes that much longer to act to help it get to a level where I can tolerate it.
So please pray for me. I know there are folks out there that need it more and are in a greater need. But the POWER OF PRAYER WORKS. I thank you with all my heart. May GOD COMFORT YOU AND BLESS YOU.
