I am being steered towards injections despite progressive symptoms…

You can always find a Doctor to cut you or give you plenty of shots. Most of the time none of it works long enough for you to walk out door because of their numbing agent they use before you leave. Your young don’t be desperate like I was. They will hurt you. Take all you can and give it years. I’ve had twenty five years of their magic. I’m in a world of hurt until I die. Drugs will stop working along with your colon. Your best bet is to stay away.

I appreciate you sharing your experience and I’m really sorry for how much you’ve been through. I can hear the frustration and regret in what you’re saying, and that carries a lot of weight.
I’m trying to walk a careful line — not rushing into anything out of desperation, but also not ignoring progressive neurological symptoms that could become permanent if left untreated. I agree that repeated shots and medications alone aren’t a long-term solution, especially when they only mask pain temporarily.
My hope is to find a provider who’s willing to look closely at the imaging, explain why the symptoms are happening, and discuss all options honestly — including risks, limits, and timing — rather than defaulting to procedures or pills.
Thank you for the warning and for being candid. Experiences like yours are exactly why I’m trying to advocate carefully and thoughtfully for myself.

@jeffspain your post says- caution ! Thanks !..especially about effects of shots on colon ! I had CRC and treat what’s left of my intestines with great care…one doc offered me the shots, the others said don’t, and I am avoiding them, preferring gentle, focused physical activity and stretches, in addition to help from my excellent osteopath/MD.
