If they only made a daily injection, they would be even richer.

Bronco I have to blame you for the casino trip, came up with that after reading your earlier post, but I had fun doing it!

It is fun, we dont get to do it often because money is tight.. You have to go on the assumtion that your not going to win and will loose what you go with.. If a person is fine with that it makes winning so much better.......lol.

That is what I do Bronoco, I take a set amount of cash with me into the casino.

I leave cash in my vehicle for the trip home, (food & gas).

I use to go to the race track on $20.00 for the day, that paid for one meal and gambling.
Most the time I came home with some cash, sometimes more that I took to the track.

It's always a plus to come home with what you bring there... I'm not a lucky gambler, I can sit alongside my wife and she will be winning and I am spending her winnings just as fast... I did have a streak of good luck 2 years ago playing quarters, I was out of money and plugging 1 at a time and won the jackpot $1,500 if I would have only maxed bet it it was almost $5.000.. Then 2 weeks later at an offroad race I won off of a raffle $2,500.. Then to top it off my adjuster had found an error and owed me more.. We paid some bills and headed off to Myrtle beach, and the rest of the story equals out to Dominick.....lol.

Well I did find a penny machine that I really like.

I have lots of work to do on the summer program I volunteer with so not much time for the casino trips. Had 30 applications come in yesterday I need to process.

I believe the injection helped the first couple of days with the cervical headaches.

As for the leg pain the first day or so I saw an improvement but now I seen to experience nerve pain with the left leg which is not the norm. Mosty the nerve pain is of the butt, hip, and right leg.

It takes very little for the blood sugar to go high and the shakes start. Is that the norm after an injection?

The last time I went gambling, was just over the state line in OK. I took a $20 bill in with me. I signed up for the casino players card, and they put $10 worth of free play on it. I sat down at a penny machine that used to be one of my favorites when I lived in Vegas. About 30 minutes after I started playing on the casino money, I pulled the players card out, went to the window and cashed out a chit for $175.00, walked out of the casino and haven't put a dime back into another slot machine since. It's only about a 20 minute drive to the nearest casino for me. But after having lived in Vegas for over 5 years and loosing so much thanks to my ex, I have no compunction to ever do it again.

Sometimes, it takes a series of injections to get long term benefits. It may be that you need another one in order for it to actually kick in and last more than 24 hours. But be very careful with your blood pressure. It is never a good sign when the systolic / diastolic numbers are close together. I am pretty good when it comes to my blood pressure. It normally ranges at about 120/80 (or right in that range) whenever I have to have it taken by the Dr's. Even when I am having a super high pain day. Which we have never been able to figure out.

Hi Becky

I have been using a borrowed older BP cuff and the numbers I take with that cuff are close together but the numbers taken at Wal Mart & by the doctor are not close together.

After talking to BB she feels the reason for the close numbers is due to the old BP
cuff. In May I am going to try and put the money out andy purchase my own cuff.

The instructions the doctor who did the injection gave me is to call his office in two weeks and let him know how the injection worked. The first injection was close to the nerve at L4-5, I experiences lots of muscle cramping across the back with this injection. The doctor tells me that is due to inflamation, and I will probably need a 2nd injection.

I have a question for those with experience with ESI's.

I have been having issues with the flushing that happens after the ESI. Body temp runs high, I overheat easily and of course there is the flushing of the face.

I am told this goes with the ESI but anyone know why this happens?

[bronco54501]

Bummer, thats a good question, I also have had the flushing.. The last one I had done was painfull as the injection was happening and gave my leg a heavy dead feeling until the fluid spread out..
