I just got back from my second "test" that involved having SIX syringes stuck in my lower back all at the same time.

I REALLY wanted to be so cool, and brave, but I yelled and moaned and it was NOT my proudest moment. My nose ran. I felt like throwing up. I shook.

This was the last of the "tests", and eventually I will go on to have Radio Wave Ablation done, to kill the nerves in my lower back. Radio wave ablation is the SAME procedure, but instead of just injecting pain relievers as they did today, they will burn out the nerves in my lower back AFTER injecting pain relievers.

I got up from the table, and THEN the nurse tells me I could have had ADAVAN before the procedure.

I said, "Why the heck didn't anyone TELL me I could have had Adavan?" She said, "I don't know. I guess we just didn't think of it." 🙄🙄🙄

I wanted to say, "Holy Doo Doos, people! Are you really that clueless about causing pain and how NOT to cause pain?"

Were they nuts?
They could have put you under light anesthesia with propofol (like they do with colonoscopies) for a procedure that was going to cause that much pain. 🙄

@Thinkerbell An anesthesiologist would have been required, and the insurance doesn't spring for that, for injection procedures. But seriously, they really should!

He’s nostalgic for it since it resembles his conception!
