I got the epidural injection today at the hospital for special surgery in Manhattan. Dr. Gregory Lutz decided to give me a single injection instead of two because I got light headed and had cold sweat after the first injection. It triggered the same sciatica pain that I experienced before. Dorit and I returned home with a taxi. The driver asked for $138 plus tolls, but he did not have an up-to-date rates book. We could not argue with him.
I slept for the rest of the day. I had little discomfort in my back. My blood sugars were elevated (about 240), but not excessively so. I did not have to take any medication to alleviate the pain, and I did not have to ice the injection site in my back. Dr. Lutz is definitely an expert.
