I hope all is well with everyone I recently was cent to a pain management specialist as I am still having pain and my gp feels there is nothing else he can do he says my meds I am on are max dosage I am currently on Oxcarbazepine 1200 mg Amitriptyline 50mg baclofen 30 mg so I went to this dr he was nice he treats more people that have back and neck pain he has treated people with tn 15 20 a year I thing he said he explained the procedure about the nerve blocker.... any thought on nerve blockers?????
I've had nerve blocks twice in the last 2 months with limited success. I've had a period of 2 weeks after each with no pain which was amazing but the pain has come roaring back both times after the 2 weeks. It's a painful procedure, I am lucky to have a doctor with a light hand so it's not as bad a some I've had in the past, I also have a high tolerance for pain (I think). It has taken me about 2 days after to recover from it (it usually gets worse before it gets better)
I am looking for non-surgical procedures at this point so the nerve block was something I was willling to try. I would go through the procedure again, a 2 week break at this point is better than nothing.
