The MRI has spoken
NO DISC PROTRUSION!! Let's all dance in the street naked and sing 'Born to be Wild'. Okay, maybe not, but the sheer relief can be felt in a six mile radius.
In order to reduce the pain in my shoulder, however, I was injected three times with a steroid/lidocaine mixture, I believe. Now, you could throw a bowling ball at me and I wouldn't feel it (in that shoulder, of course!)
Drugs, you ask? Well OF COURSE I am still taking them. New ones, in fact. I hear the side effects include drowsiness, alertness, excessive flatulence, dry mouth, obnoxiousness, frequent urination, loose bowels, and a predisposition to purchase all things infomercially related. Good thing Hubby hid my purse tonight!
Thanks to all of you for your well wishes, prayers, and warm thoughts. They all worked. I guess I know who to turn to now when it comes time for any other medical crises.

Woo Hoo! ^5! "From naked in the street" to "sheer relief". I'm glad you finally got that injection - probably Bupivacaine; it lasts longer.
Now, as COLD as it is, the only place I'll be naked outside the next 48 hours will be the hot tub. You do what you want. ;~)

...dancing naked in the streets. You're a girl after my husband's heart. He'd settle for a string bikini in a resort, however.

Good for you Tish but I won't be happy until you're flinging 200 lb. folks around their living rooms again. You sure sound relieved and confident again!

An incontinent loudmouth that drinks too much water, feels a fart coming on and craps her panties while buying a spaghetti strainer??
Damn, I bet that'd be a fun date...
ROFLMAO...

You need to take care. Anything that combines side-effects of loose bowels and excessive flatulence is a disaster just waiting to happen.

Yay you!
Belated hugs and good wishes Tish Darlin, but you know I am ALWAYS sending good thoughts your way right?
I'm so glad you are on the mend!

Damn steroids. Now you won't be eligible to ice dance in the Olympics with me.

Yep...HTS is right: Your Olympic dream just went pbbbbt with the first piss test.
But glad to hear you're doing better!

The reason you've had such a strong reaction to all of these painkillers is because you ate paste in kindergarten. I had friends that did the same thing, but it was never my bag. I preferred dipping potato chips in sand. Glad to hear you're feeling better!

I'm glad to hear you don't have disc protrusion, so is it a frozen shoulder.
So how are you doing being high on drugs?
Posted by: meeta at February 18, 2006 05:06 PM
Excessive flatulence? Gee, I never knew you needed drugs for that? Or else I never knew My First Wife has been feeding me drugs all these years...
