Ugh. I hope it doesn't take anything like that to get me back to being a little more active.
I don't like using pain meds any better than you do. Had a doctor give me a shot of Novocaine for relieving pain from a disc in my lower back that was bulging a bit. Exactly once, the same number of times I ever went there. The way I figured it, he had his mind all made up in the first ten seconds and didn't want to do much in the way of a real diagnosis. Just go through the motions, take an X-ray, and jab me with a shot so I'd feel better and get off his exam table so he could collect his fee and get on to the next patient. That was 22 years ago.
