Update #1

Ok, so before I got the needles on Thursday, my pain level was a constant 2 even with the meds. The pain never left. As of today, just 2 days after my pain level has gone down to a 1 and its not constant pain anymore. I have only taken 1 dose of meds today and that was about 15 mins ago, its 9:37 p.m. as I write this. So far the only thing I can't do is have any pressure on my back because then the pain is constant and increases. Laying on my back in bed is out of the question, my pants have to be loose or with an elastic waist. But it is a small improvement. I went several times today with no pain which is something I have not been able to do in over a year. My actions are still limited, can't do everything. Still can't carry a basket of clothes, or a gallon of milk b/c these things cause pain for me. I also can't bend over, which is also something I couldn't do anyway.

I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better!!!  I guess those EIGHT needles were definitely worth it.
