Today is the day.
After physio on Tuesday morning, I was hurting a lot like hell, couldn't even walk nor sit yesterday. So I called my doctor, got lucky, he was on holiday until yesterday, and when I called, he just came out of one of his visits, so I could directly talk to him.
He told me to stop again immediately with the physio, as it shouldn't hurt at all, and he will do me the infiltration. So I was lucky that some other patient canceled their appointment, so I can go today at 12:45, hopefully it will help.

Update: Back home, went fine, the needle stays in your back for around one minute, as first there's some liquid from your back pulled inside, where it gets mixed with the cortisone fluid, and then it's injected slowly back in. Hurts, but it's manageable. Now I will have to wait a bit until it will develop its full effect and hope for it that it will be better. I will have a second one in 2 weeks in the joint of the other side.

Btw, what I have is called Arthrodesis, and I got it done on L3+L4+L5+S1. So you can google some pictures if you want, like

Got 2nd injection this week, still not helping, so I also got different painkillers, Arcoxia, already had them for other problems and they helped, so hopefully they'll work with this too. Took the first one today.

Are there any, uh, herbal remedies that you could try?
I mean, you're home alone and playing a lot of video games so why not get baked as well
