I just realized that I have to go to pain management Tuesday for injections in my lower back. I am not looking forward to it. The last time I had it done, it was a different pain management and it hurt really bad. I think they didn't let the numbing medication work before they gave me the injections. I am really nervous about it.

Maybe you should tell them that last time it hurt a lot. If you are nervous you will be tense which wouldn't be a good thing either. I hope it goes okay.

I did let them know and it was a lot better. The last time was at a different pain management office that I dont go to anymore.

When you go in this time, definitely make sure you let them know about your discomfort last time, and how nervous you are this go-around. They may make note of that and look for ways to make you more comfortable this time. Good luck with the injections.

The last time I went, it was at a different facility. This is the first time I've had it done at the new place and it was a lot better.

@moffittjc It really was better. The doctor was gentle and talked to me the whole time telling me what to expect.

@simone10 That is good to hear. Sounds like the new place is much better than the previous place.

This doctor was very gentle numbed each area before injecting. It wasn't bad at all.

Yes, its steroids. I dont know how many I have had over the years. Sometimes they last a couple of months and sometimes they dont last at all.

I can understand being nervous after your last ordeal, but hopefully this won't be anything like it.

I would definitely alert them to the pain you had before. Perhaps, it will be better this time. Good luck to you, and I hope your pain can be better managed.
