I had my first appointment with Pain Management Clinic today. They want to start me on Neurontin 100 mg and work me up to 300 mg 3 times a day, and they also want to do a nerve block by inserting a needle through my back somewhere near my spine using xray to find the nerve and do the block. My question is has anyone else had this done and if so did it help? Are there any risk in any of this. The medication I checked on and it looks like it is normally used for seizures the Doctor said that it might at first make me sleepy and a little out of it and he said that there were some risk with the nerve block. I go back to see my OBGYN DR that recommened me to this place in the morning and want to discuss this with him. Any suggestions on questions would be helpful. He still thinks I may have to have another surgery my bowels are partially obstructed and had a really rough weekend trying to get them to move any.
