Written for RDP, where bushboy asks us
to get creative with the word “snarl”.
Thanks, Brian! Here’s my take.
At 7:30AM I’ll be heading out for a nerve block procedure in my neck. I’ve had it done before and while it’s not terribly painful, it is very uncomfortable. It only take about half an hour and the doctor encourages normal activity once I get home, along with periods of rest to apply ice to my neck. Guaranteed I will grimace and snarl at the doctor when he comes at me with his long needles. I think he gets a perverted kind of pleasure from wielding those awful things.

I think I would have a snarl as well Nancy, even though those with needles pay no heed 😷💉
Glad they initial discomfort does bring ease.
Thanks for joining in 😀

My pleasure, Brian. I really enjoy the daily RDP prompts.
The shots were a bit more painful today and I’m sore at the injection sites but I feel pretty good otherwise. Thanks for your thoughts.

Not fiction, Michele. I needed a nerve block for the stenosis and facet joint arthritis in my neck …. not my favorite way to spend a morning but I’m looking forward to the relief I hope to get. I’m doing ok, thanks. ☺️

I read that a nerve block procedure in the neck is used to alleviate chronic or acute pain stemming from pinched nerves, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or facet joint arthritis. I hope your procedure goes well, Nancy.

It went well, Jim …. a little more painful than I remembered. I have stenosis and facet joint arthritis. If the block helps, it will be followed up by ablation. Thanks for your good wishes.
