I arrived in a great deal of pain and I left in a great deal of pain. I had to wait 4 days to get spinal injections because I had been taking baby aspirin. That was a long 4 days. The spinal injections gave me immediate relief.
After two weeks, the only remaining discomfort I am feeling is a lingering affect from the surgery healing. The sharp pains and numbness I had experienced previously have not returned. I feel I received excellent care from my doctors and hospital.
