    Had another round of shots in my low back this week and wow! This past year has really been a trial for me and simply have not been able to function without strong pain medicine. The last time I had the shots they basically did nothing for me but this week, wow! To be honest I don't remember the last time I went 2 days without any pain medicine. Today marks the third day and so far all is well. Praise the Lord!

    I had 2 rounds of pain shots last year and they did nothing for me either. I am pretty good except for the first hour or two of the day. Glad to hear they are helping you.

    My last round was last December and those did nothing. I think those were just facet injections. This time I do know he also put some steroids in the mix. In my pain journal, last night I put down a zero and I don't remember the last time I could do that. It aches a little today but not bad.

    That's good to hear Dennis
    I was thinking shots might do me some good for my back cuz it's been worse and worse.
    My neck was in bad shape a few years ago with cervical spondylitis, finally ended up getting shots, it still bothers me some now but nothing severe like it was.
    I haven't even been to the doctor about my back yet so I would have to do that first.
    They will probably have to do an MRI to find out what the deal is and where to place shots.
