big needle | Arthritis Information

ok so tommorow is the day...

my mom gets the big needle in her back

i wonder what its gonna feel like...

so me and my gramma are gonna wait for her

my gramma's gonna read a book

and im gonna play with my ipod

and my moms gonna get poked with a needle

its gonna take about 10 minutes

and then she'll be all betterz

what's the needle for?oh the needle is for my moms back

cuz she has somethin wrong with her spinal disk

i think. somethin about fluid there

and it causes ALOT of pain

but the needle is supposed to make it better

for a year or two

Sometimes it does not help so much until after the secound shot. So if this is her first shot and it does not completely help usually the second one does. Rarely do people ever get more than three shots. That would usually get rid of most the swelling and help heal the disk.yeah i hope it works tho

she's a little nervous about it

and if it doesnt work

then she'd be wasting money too

Best of luck to your mom Star. Sounds like you are a little worried about her too. Don't worry she'll be OK. i hope so

thnx anyways wanttobe

cuz i wanna go with her to see the new harry potter movies this weekend

for like a present

i hope she can go...

I have had them. I was a little disappointed after the first shot. A friend told me he did feel better till after the secound one. Sure enough the secound one helped me alot. We both had buldged disk. That is pretty painful. It takes awhile to heal from that. It sounds scary but it is not so bad. Still I always would sweat real bad from being afraid I would move or jerk away. I did alright. They had a metal bar. I would hang on to to steady myself. My hands were always really sweaty from being a nervous reck.

so we went

me and my mom and grandma

and my mom got her needle thingy

we were at the hospital at 12:15

and got out at 1:30

she didnt think they would use anything, but they used novicane

so now she cant do anything today

no shower or nothin

and she might hurt for a day or two

in 4-5 days it should start working

BUT it sayd, for some ppl it doesnt work for 10-14 days

she thinks she might be able to go to the movies

but she's not sure yet...

Well sometimes usually actually you feel worse before you get better. Sometimes but not for very long you swell a little first. So she may have a hard time tonight and maybe tomorrow some also.

How's your mom doing Star?well last night she was ok, i guess the novicane didnt wear off yet

but today she hurt a little this morning

then she decided to wash her hair and stuff

and she had taken the band aid off

so later after she washed her hair and was doing alot of bending over

she went to the bathroom

and found out, that she was bleeding

so she put a new band aid there

and now it hurts still

so she's just sitting on the couch now

me and my grandma did the grocery shoppin for her today

it was sorta fun

lol
