As I approach the 6 week mark of my epidural injection and the 4 month mark of the return of back pain on this last day of January 2008...I can note several things>
The Blood Pressure is back more near normal....the past couple of days in the 135-75 range, sometimes a little higher, but still better than it was earlier in the week.
The back(buttock area) still has daily pain, but for the most part, I can do normal activities...especailly if I rest lying down for 15 minutes a couple of times a day....ready for baseball season? That I'm not sure of yet....we will see if the improvement continues, or I need another lumbar epidural.
Hopefully more improvments are on the way...........

BP has been up since yesterday...as has the pain, especially nerve endings.....
BP was 151/77 with a pulse of 64 this morning....yesterday was worse, 170-180/80....not sure if it's diet, pain, or ?
More reason to drop some weight, which I need to do....and drop more salt/fats from diet....started that this morning.

Friday....BP was 123/71 with a pulse of 63...not bad!
Back is manageable....but far from perfect....will drive 250 miles round trip to Nappanee, Indiana, and back today...will see if any effect.

Back to Doc Bergman today for the one month follow-up visit concerning Blood Pressure....all looked good, came in and the office reading was 117/70....will keep me on the mild BP meds until my next check up in 6 months.
Pain is manageable today....time to get back to waking(or stationary bike) and some light weights....question is....can I get rid of this case of procrastination?

Blood Pressure was 130/70 with a pulse of 70 this morning.....hip pain has returned to buttock....though not as sever as before the epidural...did have marked up pain last night when I went to bed...probably result of up and down movements at dartball last night/
Back to regular doc tomorrow to see what he thinks of BP and improvements.....will he keep me on medication? Probably! I have no problem with that as it seems to be working well with no side effects.
