Has anyone tried an epidural nerve block? My pain Dr. brought
this idea up last week. I told him I would think about it.
Does it hurt when given? Is it a shot in the spine? Does it
numb everything from the waist down? How long does it last?
Is it worthwhile? I have tried the nuerontin and it didn't
help me. We are now trying the 50 duragesic patch and a pill
called topamax. I am getting some minimal relief so far.(only
been a few days) I hope this Thursday is the start of a pain-free
week for all!!
