I got my pain management epidural today! The process itself..
Added 2024-07-03 03:57:12 +0000 UTCI got my pain management epidural today!
The process itself wasn’t too bad, I did almost pass out at one point but I’m not sure if that was from pain or my POTS disability. Luckily I’m very good at managing and didn’t ask for a full numbing!
Aftermath has been SO MUCH WORSE!! 🤣
Within an hour or two, I was beyond sick and stuck in bed - the sickness DID clear up, but luckily it didn’t bother me a ton!
I am currently in so much pain as of the last hour (hit the 12 hour mark) that I could easily say it’s about 5x the procedure itself.
I will probably be working only a tiny bit tomorrow, taking a heavy pain med, FINALLY BEING ALLOWED TO SHOWER, and resting a ton!
In 2-3 days we will see if there’s any results on lessening my spinal injury pain! Really hoping what I’m dealing with is worth the struggle! My spirits are high!
Thank you for being so incredibly patient with me during this! 💞
