Pain Management

I went to my regular pain management appointment today, knowing I could not get an injection since I'm pregnant.  I was hoping to talk about other medication options, but she said there's really nothing else they can give me.  She was glad to hear I was headed back to PT, and also told me that they *CAN* give me a botox injection in my piriformis, if the pain gets bad, and do it without the xray.  Basically a blind injection.  Of course, if they miss the piriformis and hit the sciatic nerve, then I'll be paralyzed in my right leg for 3 months, but hey...  I said I would keep that as an option in my mind, should the pain get severe.

Oh, and the zofran won't fly.  Gives me killer headaches.  I'd forgotten that...
