Pain in the neck.... literally!

So, as anyone who would be reading this probably knows I have had some issues with my neck for some years now. After an accident in 2000 I had an emergency surgery to plate and fuse the 4th 5th and 6th vertebrae in my neck. Since that time I have had physical therapy to deal with it and taken medicine of all sorts and tried to keep up a somewhat physical lifestyle to stay in shape. Well, all of those efforts were not enough to stave off the inevitable damage to the discs in my neck just above and below my fusion. I finally was in enough pain to see a specialist about it and he sent me on this past Thursday to see a neurologist. They decided to do a little procedure called an inter vertebrae epidural steroid injection. It feels about as nice as you would think. But now a couple of days later and I am feeling much better. I actually got out and did some yard work today and, until I started to get a little sore, I got a lot done. Suzy is graciously finishing up without me. I look forward to hopefully continuing to feel better and returning to my normal life soon.
