8 injections!! Good grief! I hope you get to sue whoever did this to you! Nerve damage too?? Damn...that is terrible. Sounds like you've been through a grinder or something. i sure hope everything works out...i used to have a lot of back problems...then i bought a king size tempurpedic and i workout on a regular basis to keep my muscles loose. seems to have worked. but in your case it sounds pretty serious. just take things one day at a time.
and thanks for taking care of me...i'll email you my number again because it changed. i hope the pain subsides soon
