Maybe?

So I haven't updated this lately. Just over two weeks ago I had a spinal steroid epidural. It had helped my back somewhat, though I am still having the occasional nerve pain. Today I had an emg test through my orthopedic office. The doctor who did the test was the same one who did the epidural. This emg test compared to the one done by my original neurologist was night and day. Dr. K was so gentle and nice and when my one spot started bleeding he stopped where he was testing so he could clean the blood off my shoulder. There is no nerve damage, which is a good thing. What I am having is nerve pain. He recommended an cervical steroid epidural for the neck and then another spinal steroid epidural for the back. This should help the nerve pain, and maybe it will help with the headaches!!Plus I see my new family doctor next week!!  I am really looking forward to being seen by her. I feel like she is going to help me to get better!
