Slipped discs and injections - anyone had it done?

[Mr. Dazzle]

Just been taking that "orange" flavour stool softening drink instead.

No idea what the hell kind of oranges grow near that factory.

You're lucky. Apparently over here they give you a "fizzy" tablet thing to shove up there to soften things Although that might be better if it softens at the exit as well

Home! After 16 nights in hospital.

I got held up for a few more days because my scar swelled up. Had to go for another contrast MRI. Swelling is a heamatoma and there are some small signs of osteomyelitis, however the treatment for that is the antibiotics treatment I've already started.

Just gotta do some follow up blood work over the next few weeks and keep taking my pills.

Would I still have had the microdiscectomy if I'd known this was gonna happen? Honestly, probably yes. That's how unpleasant permeant sciatica is

Glad you're back in the nest and survived the hospital menu Mr D.

Tell your disc surgeon to wash his apron and use fresh gloves and autoclaved instruments!
