Selective Nerve Root Block, Whoot Whoot!

Oh yeah, let' s get pumped for nerve blocks! Okay, so I'm actually a little scared about needles in my back, but if it means eating without pain, I can't wait! Since the discography was denied (twice) by my insurance, the spine drs. are going to try a Selective Nerve Root Block on my T8 and T9 areas on Monday to try to block the pain as it wraps around to my stomach. Basically they will inject numbing medication and steroids in there. The best part (in my opinion) is that prior to the procedure, they hook me up to an IV and give me some stuff that makes me feel NO PAIN! That's right, I will be completely pain-free, for a few hours, at least. Can I just say, I've only been completely pain-free for one day in the last 14.5 months? I can't wait!!!
