I saw the nurse practitioner at the pain clinic yesterday. She wasn't that concerned with the sciatica, but she did prescribe pain medicine for me. Thank God. She said we have to finish the procedures on my neck before we start on my lower back. I have three more procedures to do on my neck, consisting of 8 injections each time. I'm due for the next procedure so I'll be hearing from them soon with my appointment for that.
Funny, because my GP gave me prescription pain medicine, I had my first ever drug test yesterday. I told them at the lab this was my first, and I'm 70 years old. There is no chance I'm abusing the medicine, the GP only gave me 15 pills on September 26. I've been only taking half a pill at a time. At least now I won't have to suffer so much. I certainly hope this sciatica doesn't last for months. Please continue to pray for me.
