Hi Ed,
Yes, the dr said that there is surgery but there aren't many drs around the world that do it. i'm going to find out about it because i think i have a severe case and it would be the best treatment. The dr seemed to advocate it also.
i'm having a special MRI done.It was so strange that he referred me to the same group of drs for the nerve block- the pain management dr i saw before- who gave me such a hard time about not having a dx. i thought i was hallucinating/ having a fb when he gave me the familiar form with the letterhead of that office- it was like a nightmare- especially because i was so upset with that dr after finding the correct diagnosis a few minutes before.
i told the new dr how strained relationship i have with the dr there. There are other drs in the pain management group. It feels so yuccy, i'm so angry and upset and thankful and relieved. Mostly it hurts though. Treatment is just beginning and it feels like it should be over.
Yes, in the beginning of the pain in Dec.2003- the family dr tried me on neurontin and elival and others. It just didn't work for the sharp pain and the elival gave me a migraine. i'm going to try Lyrica when the pharmacy gets it in. The oxycontin doesn't work totally either but works the best of anything i've taken. Maybe the combination or one of the other ones on your list. i have lidocaine but it doesn't make a big difference. the pain is deep also.
Mostly it will be the nerve block i think that will help. i wish i was more together or that i wouldn't have to be there when it happens.
or go to that God-forsaken office.. .anyways
Thank you,kerria x
