Hi @penn - ugh, sorry the injections are bringing you more pain. That must be frustrating for you. It's more than likely your body's way of telling you it's had enough.
I experienced added pain from injections, too, where as my central nervous system just put the brakes on and said you're making things worse, stop it.
Central sensitization syndrome is what you may be experiencing. Are you familiar with CSS?
Understandably you feel like nothing can be done for you anymore and that may be correct medically speaking but there are more things that can be done to help you manage how you feel and what you're going through . Have you begun to think outside of the box and explore non-medical pain management options like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, meditation and breath work?
@penn
I do think the spinal injections depend on a good doctor with a good technique and that they do the injections at the right levels (I have had good ones with limited pain and others who caused extreme pain). Have you had a MR Neurogram done to image your nervous system to identify where nerve damage is and where to do injections/other treatments with the most benefit for pain management for you? I will pray for you to get help and some pain relief. It must be so hard for you to deal with this pain.
