What’s an LP?
I think Mo’s suggestion to visit Columbia Presbyterian or the like is a good one. Its time to finally get to the bottom of this, its too debilitating this time.

Yeah, black ice in the morning and gale force winds in the afternoon. Fake miles it is and no kudos for us.

Cluster, if that's what you've got, is reputed to be one of the most distressing pain syndromes in the book. IOW, nothing to minimize or HTFU about.
Tell them you've been diagnosed on the internet.

Not even fake miles for me, today - it's new window day and the last of the few older windows in the house are being replaced. The main impetus is the kitchen reno - the window in there needs to have the sill height raised to accommodate cabinets/counter when we reorient the layout.

I had a few transforaminal epidural injections, which amount to the same thing with a bigger needle, and the second two were pretty trivial. The first one, when the disc fragment was still blocking the flow from the needle and there was momentary pressure on the nerve root, was indescribably awful for a second or two.

My hope is you won't even need one. It's done for headaches only if they need CSF for suspecting *****gitis (which I highly doubt) or to "prove" no bleeding into your subarachnoid space, which I also doubt based on the story. But see what they tell you. Feeling any better?

Agree. It's a disturbing idea.

After removing window shades and moving appliances in anticipation of the work being done today, we got a call that one of the installers called in sick and that they'd have to re-schedule.

That shovel is for looking at, much like a super model. Working shovels look like this.
