Good morning,Kim
I have had chronic numbness to my lower legs and feet,particularly my left for more than 2 years now.However,I've never had wave-like numbness like I experienced post-facet injections.It seems to have settled down although I am having boring/searing nauseating pain across my low back.I take Demerol (B.I.D & B.I.D prn)and Flexeril at night and once the spasms and pain settle down,I can usually get 5 - 7 hours of sleep at night.I have taken extra Demerol and Flexeril yesterday and early this morning,but I am only able to get it to settle for about 2 hours  .The anesthesiologist said to take it easy for a few days...now I know why.
