Maybe an epidural will end it all Rumble. Yes, you have been working a whole lot of extra hours and that has to be a part of it as well. I don't know why the Ablation went south on you this time. Plus, you all have been having some crazy spring weather which set's off lot's of flares. I hope you get some relief soon. I can't even imagine that kind of pain and working.

It took longer than any other recovery period, but SI is finally pain-free. It's been over a week since I last noticed any pain coming from SI. Whew. That was a tough one. I didn't want to jump on a repeat procedure the minute I started hurting again from the previous one (as in: the nerve has regenerated), but I obviously waited too long this time. By the time I scheduled it, it was pain 24/7. Note to self: after 2 weeks, schedule the repeat. And only 0.75hrs of OT for the past 2 week pay period! Down from 24hrs of OT before that! And hubby is still complaining about his procedure still hurting. I warned him it wasn't like anything else he's had done (epidurals).

Rumble,I am glad you have gotten some relief both from the procedure and from the OT. They were miraculous for me for about 3 years until things happened to not be able to get them anymore. I am still waiting on a surgery appt. Friday his assistant said he wanted to look at all the records again before he scheduled it. We have had 3 different dr. tell us he is the best and we have a friend whose brother is an orthopedic surgeon and he chose my Neurosurgeon to do surgery on his wife.
That said, "if" he decides it is not the thing to do, then I will just not do it. I am not going to dr. search until I find someone to do it. I trust him.
Hope this continues to be a good week. 90 degrees is a long way from snow two weeks ago!
