Some background. I was in law enforcement for 16 years and have been the head of Security at a hospital for the last 14. I moved 5 years ago and drive an hour and 15 minutes to work. Last month the hospital fired the Emergency Management Director and told me I have to do this job too. Emergency Management is very detailed in a hospital and I can't realistically do both jobs. I have found a job where I live so I will not have the drive and this job actually pays more. But it will require a lot of walking and standing during 12 hour shifts. It's important that I do well at this job and I really need my leg to be pain free. When it flares up I have been putting DMSO on my back and leg and this helps. But I really need that next shot before I start and then I need the RFA. Prayers that the pain will stay away and that I do well at my job are appreciated. I know there are people that have bigger problems so I hope this doesn't sound selfish but I am trusting God for everything and I know how much prayer helps. Thank you
Wow, I never see people talk about DMSO (except for me). I deal with a lot of pain and DMSO certainly helps. Another thing that helps me is a CBD+camphor cream, and an arnica pain relief cream... especially if I use these together with DMSO.I did find the ice pack on my bag helped and talked to someone who has sciatica that said massage helps. Right now I have gotten relief from the epidural shot and DMSO is helping when there is a flare up. Thank you for the praters.
Have you ever looked into red light therapy? I use that as well, as recommended by my chiropractor.
Praying for you.
