I was offered topamax, but I didn't want to take it. I also have done several lumbar sympathetic blocks. Be well - Lottie
Oh, yes! Lots of P.T.!! They are worth their weight in gold! I was allowed 60
visits per year by insurance and used them up in 6 mo. so when I had to pay out of pocket I had to cut back. They feel I have reached a plateau of sorts so now I will still work to keep what I've gained.
P.T. is the only time I take Nucynta (narcotic).
I take pretty much what you take except tramadol, what is that?
Thanks Lottie!
