I had the phenol injection. I am very sad to say that I did'nt receive
relief from the injection. I continue my search like many others for a
solution. I have sent my medical records to Duke University. A group of
Drs. in the Charlotte area gave me the referral. I hope to hear very soon.
Thanks for asking and God Bless, Ginger
