Can't wait until its over lol |
I hate facing a painful test worse than anything! Ugh! Feel just like a piece of meat being marched into the grinder. No kidding, with today's new patient comfort emphasis on having painful things done, I would hit them up for something to help you, girl. And then plan to reward yourself with something wonderful after it is over.
If your foot is dragging, oh, boy, you do need a look at what is going on! I've had foot drag before but thankfully it never lasted over 2-3 days at a time. I & the rest of us will so being praying for you and rooting for you and waiting to hear so hard that you will just have to almost feel us behind you!!!!! Hopefully they have slimmed those needles down some and decreased the depth of stick with all the new technology, etc. and it won't be so bad.
I always pinch the web space between my thumb and index finger with my fingernails when something hurts at the doctor's office - to get my mind off the area they are working on. It's supposed to help severe headache pain some guy on TV said one time but I use if for any pain, like when I get a deadening shot for a filing or get a nerve block or they are having trouble starting an IV, digging around. It helps a bit - takes your mind off the other pain if you pinch hard enough!!! Sounds silly but might try it if it's going tough.
Sure wish we could get you out of this somehow but as we can't, we'll be praying and thinking of you a whole lot tonight and tomorrow. Soon as you get home and can make it, let us know you've made it through and we can cheer you for being brave!
