Just for the record...

Having a needle stuck into your spine is not fun.  Having already angry nerves agitated yet more while waiting in futility for medicine to kick in is also not fun.  Please make mental notes of these facts in case anyone ever asks or there's ever any confusion about the matter.

Hey, in other news, I have broadened my horizons in defining pain, yay!

lumbar puncture for spinal fluid?

[TonyV]

No, not that serious.  Steroid epidural for a bulging disk.  I swear, I think my back is going to snap in half.  :(  The steroids still haven't kicked in yet, and I can barely walk.  It's extremely frustrating, because it's been going on for over three months.

oh, geez. i can imagine that would be frustrating as ive got scoliosis and i thought the pain i felt from time to time was bad but its nothing compaired to yours.
