Sounds like we very much have a shared experience, except after 10 years my life was impacted too much and I had to give in to surgery. The hardest decision I ever made after I educated myself on the risks, pros and cons, but ultimately the best decision I made, still pain freeSo here’s the thing. Back injuries never fully go away, it’s about management. Resorting to injections is not the answer.
When I hurt by my back, my physio told me that scans are only of limited value because most adults over 30 have bulging disks to one degree or another, it’s just a matter of severity and whether or not they cause pain but back determination is a part of getting older.
The best solution is to strengthen the muscles in your core that support your spine. Personally, Pilates worked wonders for me, as well as physio if/when I get a flare up. I also go to the gym and lift weights (although I work with trainers who are actually good and their jobs) and try to get to reformer Pilates once or twice a week. I know this is why I’ve been pain free for years.
Of course, none of the above is dramatic enough for attention seeking baby Greasy.
yes they are given for painSteroid injections are for pain? This one is on her magic meds and flying around. Another Saturday not with the kids. Convenient she got a Saturday appt
She sounds hungover to.She looks hungover
I was going to comment at how puffy her eyes look. Like she’s been crying or is deathly hungover. She just looks so unhealthy!She sounds hungover to.
100% on this. Any consultant would be telling you to get to a good physio and focus on strengthening and getting the core strong with Pilates, etc. And any good consultant will not resort to a steroid injection unless it’s a last attempt to relieve pain and last option is surgery. She is in her hole in agony. Plus the brushing of the hair gave me rage!So here’s the thing. Back injuries never fully go away, it’s about management. Resorting to injections is not the answer.

I presumed mags was going with her would she have free parking if she works there?You'd have to wonder what doctor in their right mind is giving a spinal steroid injection to someone who claims they 'got lots done this morning' and is socialising more than anyone I know of. Also presume mags is there to mind the kids so crisps can drive "incapacitated" Grace to her appointment.
absolute bull shite. Makes no sense, Ive have various steroid injections over the years including one guided by ultrasound. I neither had to fast nor did it take five hours. This is all very soon and serious very quickly isn’t it especially when she’s pretty mobile.A steroid injection in which she will b in the hosp for 5 hours
FfsTea and toast after a steroid injection? Looks like the pic you put up after having a baby?
‘All alone’ exactly how she likes itFfsshe is in Greasy heaven. In a bed, being waited on hand and foot and child free!!
