The shot was a steroid + local analgesic. The where...you know those two 'dimples' you have on the backside of your back side? Just about there (on the right).
The CAT scan is for my head - I took a hard whack and had a concussion a few years ago.
Ladies, please be careful with hatchback cars. The pneumatic struts that hold up the hatchback failed and the lid came down and cracked me in the back of the head. I've been having headaches lately, emanating from that spot - but they're weird - not so much pain, just an uncomfortable 'awareness'of that area and fuzzy muddled thinking. I call it 'feeling like I'm trying to think with somebody else's brain.'
The term 'migraines' came up, but really, it doesn't feel like the way I've heard others describe migraines. I've heard them described as excruciating, blinding, and debilitating. That describes the body pain but not my 'headache'. The scrips are Flexaril & Indomethacin, a muscle relaxer and an arthritis med. So far, so good. Except for a little stomach queasiness - they seem to actually work. (Of course, the queasiness could be the greasy chicken I had for lunch
)
I appreciate all your prayers - I find those to be the best prescription of all. An MRI was discussed - I probably will end up getting one of those, too. This was the first appointment with this doctor. The hardest part of this has always been getting someone to
listen . At least this doctor is listening and I am grateful for that! Many blessings back to you all - I really do appreciate your prayers on my behalf.
