ive been so cold i went out & oh had to bring me home to get big coat,my fingers are numb,i even refused to get out of car at tesco's so oh had to go in to do shopping.im sat now with a blanket over me that i refuse to give up til i go to bed(which will be soon)
my knees feeling like there gonna give way with each step.
its endless.the warmer few days weve had ive felt so much better.
ive had my fingers in hot water too thinking its circulation,but there still numb.

Hi Debs,

The have taken out the lumber pain and just left a bit of stiffness and numbness and for the first night in 24 years I didn't wake up in pain....... I am going to ask them to make it permanent I think....... I might prefer the cryogenics but maybe the surgical cut would be better as it doesn't need to be re-done. I see the Rumo in October and the pain lady again in 6 weeks and will sound her out as she did suggest if they worked really well she would agree permanent de nerving would be a good option.....

Hope you have as good a result. Take care, Cris x

hi cris, how often do you have the jabs? if you dont mine me asking.
glad they help,hope they do the same for me.
ive heard of the de-nerving,but not of any1 thats had it done.
there looking for a trapped nerve with me,but dont know any answers yet will try nx wk to get some answers from the scan,but if its like the bloods no1 tells me anything.
so glad you got some sleep,its a wonderful thing sleep,long time since ive had a decent night,so i know how you feel on that score.

Hi Debs,

There's the rub, you can only have so many and my neck is quietly wearing off....... That one was a temporary nerve block the lumber was just a couple of faucet jabs but hell thats worked well!

I had my neck done back in April, she wouldn't re-do it just yet but did do some trigger point jabs in it and they too have helped. They say the neck ones I had last 3-6 months and the faucets are (I think) around 2-3 months. She wouldn't give me a number that your allowed, she only said I have had that many. I have had them before and also reg in my knees, elbows and shoulders so I don't know how many more I shall be allowed....... hence seeing about getting it made permanent. Don't forget to tell us when your going. x

hi cris,i wont forget to tell you when im going,& will certainly report back on the, if they work bit.
i did read some where that to many cause osteo porisis(sp)but ive been tested for that im just under for my age.
but i should think they'd keep regular checks on that too.
if not then i will insist.
its a shame shearing is not in aug/sept time when i have two men in cornwall on holiday that could come do it for you
but they only want the fishing.
if the shearings over can you rest up a bit now?

Hey Debs..... I tend to re-do them in August so be careful...... The others are part done but are usually well behaved and my hands needed a bit of a rest so I shall see if they are dry and get a new set of shears cus the hand shears are a bit blunt. for re-do I am going to get electric if it kills me, its terribly hard work but is mins rather than half and hour! x

mash65

right then cris you tell them sheep,ive done a course on hairdressing,like something nice & warm to cuddle,but im not into wrestling.
we only need a field to camp in,fishing near by for the men & a lav for a no2,& we'll be there to help with the shearing debsx
