The culprit or the victim?

11 February 2005

297.
Third doctor's opinion obtained today. The only doctor who thought to press a needle on the sole of my foot. I didn't feel it. It's the sciatic nerve that has been 'banged', and it will take a few weeks to right itself. The muscle relaxants are no good, apparently. I've been given a neural inhibitor that will, I am told, stop the pain signals going to my brain while the nerve calms down. God speed the day that the drugs begin to take effect. In the meantime (tomorrow, that is), I'm going to listen to Hibs (hopefully) beat Rangers at the footie before watching Scotland (hopefully) beat Ireland at the rugby.

Wonderful image, Stu ... very creative colouring! It certainly says 'PAIN'!

This is VERY clever. Good work!

Never mind the needle, did he notice it's bright red? Sounds nasty, I managed to stand on a needle a couple of weeks back, and let me tell you I felt it (as did most people in a ten mile radius when their walls shook).

This is a cool shot... amazing that you can still be so creative in this state. I'm VERY glad to hear that a doc has at least defined the problem. The pain has got to be maddening. Hang in there, Stu.

Guest		14-Feb-2005 02:12
Take it easy,Stu. I like this treatment!

Guest		13-Feb-2005 21:01
Esta està mesmo boa Stu! Até que enfin Stu, o doutor encontrou o que é. Isso agora com os medicamentos, vai passar depressa.

Sorry to hear that you're laid up, down for the count, in a pickle... Hope you feel better soon.

1 out of 3 is not bad - knowing the score about your pain... but lets forget the other two!

Just knowing helps...a little. Take it easy Stu.

Damn you should have asked me.. i k new it was the sciatic nerve. LOL Seriously when you mentioned the pain running down your leg I figured that cuz I had it quite a few years ago. I'm glad you're going to get some relief.. and a very creative SP ..

Nice image! Glad you got a third opinion!

Nice effect here. Staying put for a while is good with lots of tea and good books, and of course, the sports on the telly.

Robin Reid		12-Feb-2005 17:15
I hope the footie scores assuage your pain!

petesie		12-Feb-2005 16:32
I sure hope this works....and try to enjoy the time off a little, if possible.

Calming the nerve signals is the thing, Stu. Use the time to read, read, read.....hmmm, do I feel a back ache coming on :?)

Gayle P. Clement		12-Feb-2005 16:12
Very creative, Stu.

Susanne		12-Feb-2005 15:15
Hope the meds will set in soon, but it appears that this pain has helped you with a creative shot. I love how you have that leg red and the background gray and the finish is great.

Zak		12-Feb-2005 14:58
I thought the pain signals had already got to your brain ;-) good luck with the footy and rugby, you might need it! heehee
