hi kerria. Sorry to hear the nerve block didnt work. They didnt work for me either. The feeling you have in your legs is a classic symptom of the epidural they gave you-it will go away. Talk to your doctor about an Occipital or Periphial Nerve stimulator. It is a box that is surgically implanted and it responds to pain receptors by giving off a mild electrical pulse (like a tense unit would). good luck. I think that one post was good in saying that obsessing about how the doctors treat you isnt going to change them. I still firmly believe that you are the one who needs to take an active role in your recovery. You cant change the doctors but you can change how you deal with them and you can change how you are going to handle your own feelings about the situation. Be proactive, stand up for yourself, dont take no for an answer, do your own research... Praying for you
