#nerve root injection

[thatsmydepressiontm]

had a nerve root injection in my neck today. it's where they inject cortisone near the major nerve in the neck to hopefully stop the nerve pain in my left arm from where a bulging disc in my spine is touching the nerve.

well. it's early so I'm hoping its better tomorrow but rn my nerve pain is significantly worse so that's fun. hoping its just cos it's only been 12 hours, and that I've barely slept today.

Medical Assistance At Its Best - Catheter Insertion

Interesting changes are happening in the medical field as of today with so many advancements in the medical machines and equipment’s that has come in the recent past. Nerve root injection, is no more a challenging situation for the sufferer. It is done in the easiest manner possible by the specialists in the business as of today. Angioplasty procedure is simple now. Similarly, Catheter insertion is being done with the assistance of the experts easily.

  Service to the human kind is something that is to be appreciated by all at any given day. Whether it is a charity institution or a non-profitable institution of the special kind or if it is just a medical care center, the contribution to the society as such, is something that is to be applauded. They are keen to help others in the society and are happy in doing so. They are getting complete happiness in life while doing that. They are not seeking for luxury. They are seeking for comfort. They are just interested in upbringing the society as such. These are the lads that are useful in the construction of the better tomorrow for the upcoming generations. The human kind can grow and evolve as one unit in the upcoming future to crack all the challenges that crop up, with the best support of these noble lads that are ready to offer their best hands forward all the time for the sake of one and all of us.

    Doctors that are specialists in the specific subject streams play a crucial role here. Yes, some of the super specialty doctors are interested in serving to the insane society in the first place. They are interested in doing so because they believe that the services of the best kind start from the deprived societies in the first place. When they execute their key objectives of such a kind the needy and insane in the communities are being rewarded with best medical attention and care. Such dutifulness should come in the minds of one and all of the doctors as such.

    Something like the Catheter insertion or a nerve root injection needs a specialist medical professional to attend to the patient. When the facility is not there available readily for them they are deprived of their interests. Sometimes they got to lose something big too. The best solution is to take the medical care centers to their proximity as such.  Angioplasty procedure can be done in the public medical care facilities too.

....About Four Months Later....

I decided today... "That's IT! I'm going back!"... It's been a bit over four months since the last time I stepped on the mat(t) at Yamasaki! I just couldn't take it any more. My back still hurts like hell (but better) and I want to train... Badly.... like FOUR MONTHS AGO!!!! So, I messaged my Master, Fernando Yamasaki this morning and asked him if it would be OK if I return, and his reply was "See you tonight!!!!"

Well I picked a hell of a night to go back. First of all, When I arrived, they were just packing things up from filming a commercial at the Academy. I'm not sure for what but I guess I will find out eventually. I assume that because they were filming the commercial, Master Mario Shigueru Yamasaki (Father to Fernando and Mario Yamasaki) was in the house. What an honor to meet this 8th Dan Judo Black Belt. We were asked to join the children's class as Master Mario S. Yamasaki spoke instruction in Portuguese and his son, My Master, Fernando Translated. It was Awesome! 

After a warm welcome back from Fernando and the other students who wondered where I was, I made it through the next class's warm-ups, and guard choke drills with a bit of pain as expected... but not too bad. The next class began, and I asked Fernando if he had any exercises that I could work on, because I was beginning to tighten up. I mentioned that I tried a shoulder roll in warm ups and that was NOT pleasant at all. He thought it would be a good idea (and I agreed!) that I call it a night, see how I feel and come back in a week. Slow and steady... I'm not trying to hurt myself again, but I still want to keep learning.

So I am home now... I just did a heck of a lot of stretching and I am now laying on the couch with my TENS unit on, writing this post. Thursday, I'm due to go back for a third round of Nerve Rot Injections at The Spine Center in Rockville, which has been treating me for pain the past two months. Below is a picture of my last treatment. So I can't wait until next tuesday so I can train again.

I'll be back soon and keep you updated... But all I have for now is DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK!
