Some might remember a blog I wrote about a rather uncomfortable medical procedure I experienced in June which (it had been hoped) might resolve a very long-standing problem I have had with serious pain in my neck.
In the event, although there has been a reduction in the level of pain, the operation was only about 75% successful because some pain has remained. So, around lunchtime today, I went through the same procedure again.
This time, however, I knew what to expect; which is just as well because the first series of injections were administered a little lower down the spine from where the problem is located - which required a further injection which was directed (hopefully) to the correct place.
Fingers crossed.
