Ok, I guess it is something different. I had some kind of nerve block, guided by ultrasound, on the leg. It’s supposed to be for pain relief after surgery, I think. Then I had the knee replacement with a spinal, and just light anesthesia. Anyway, I’m hurtin for certain, but better today than yesterday.
I hope that you are better day by day.
I think the nerve block that I had was guided by xray..it micht have been ultrasound...not sure of that though....they deadened four nerve centers around the knee The literature says it can be used instead of surgery....but my doctor describes its use in conjunction with surgical knee replacement to lessen pain post op. The literature also says it is a covered procedure by Medicare and insurance.....but mine wasn't and cost $1700 out of pocket.

If it was done in a hospital....it is. Mine was done in the Doctors Orthopedic Center and it wasnt covered. I dont know why the Dr did it where he did. The rules that govern our medical care are inexplicable....and they are not devised to serve people.....its all to satisfy insurers. imho
but that is more about health care than I want to comment on
I have to make an appointment for an ultra sound on my tumor.
I was in such a state of debilitating anxiety that it did anything but 'lighten me up" I know I took it wrong and sorry I snapped at you. At the time your comment seemed to me to be somewhere between cruel or insensitive.
Today I know I overreacted. It is hard to know what to say sometimes.
I hope that your ultrasound appointment goes well and brings good news.
Last night was my first night of tapering my antidepressant--the doctor said cut it in half--that seems like a lot to me but I did. Not much sleep but I figured as much. It will take some time but at least I will be rid of them eventually! I have to work tonight so that has me a little concerned so I'll try to take a nap today!
Sounds like so many here are struggling with health issues....I am so sorry! Getting older is not easy for sure!
Hope you all have a blessed day!

Oh dear! Never cruel, elston! Insensitive, maybe sometimes. Was not meaning to be either. I accept your apology and will try to "read" you better.
Company is gone back to Arizona. Will be back in probably a month for a celebration of life for the sister. Good thing the other day I happened to mention all the black splotches my husband got all over his body just before he died. The group went into the hospice yesterday and the sister was black splotches, along with her jaundice. Just like my hubby was. So no one freaked yesterday. It's funny how little bits and pieces can help people. So the end is very near. Too bad they couldn't change their flight.
I am seriously considering taking a drive over to Gilbert, Az. to go visit at some point. Wth, my car is going on 2 years old, I only have 5K miles on it and I have a 10 year/100K miles warranty on it. I would love to feel no humidity for a change. That bothered these people terribly.
tamiznluv, do you have a Kia, Hyundai or a Mitsubishi? All of those carmakers offer the 10 year, 100,000 mile Warranty. I drive a 2011 Kia Soul 5-speed stick.
