On 29th August I go to a beautiful private hospital in Hove, East Sussex. The Consultant is charming, and this is what I am having done.
Lumbar facet injections L5/S1 L4/5 L3/4, these total 5 injections and also a Caudal epidural.
There is disc degeneration at L5-S1 and at L4 5 there is a broad based disc bulging impinging both L5 nerve roots. Then I will engage on a physiotherapy programme.
This has been steadily worsening over a number of years. My feet and legs are now so painful with nerve pain. I have had several procedures over the last couple of years. So I am hoping this will improve things.
Meanwhile, do I stop, no of course not. You've gotta keep moving
