Went in yesterday for an epidural to help relieve the pain in my lower back. The pain had been bothering me for quite some time.
We had done X-rays and scans in Texas. Nothing broken, but the scan showed some new collapsed vertebrae. We discussed with the doctor and decided we should meet with our Cleveland Clinic team to develop a plan.
Met with Dr. Savage, spine and neurological specialist. He recommended an epidural and physical therapy.
Now that the first step has been completed, I am scheduled for physical therapy next week. Pain decreased throughout the day yesterday and is almost entirely gone today.
Looking forward to the PT.
Thanks again for all the well wishes. Truly appreciate it!
