Kris, over 3 mos. to get dx'd?
I'm not a medical professional I can only tell you my experience & mine
started in hand & arm so my nerve blocks are stellate ganglion in the neck.
My first one was a disaster, but then I found a P.M. Dr. who used xray &
ultrasound guidance for much better accuracy. I did research & found examples of the differences on youtube. I've now had over 22 done.
I would guess that pretty soon they may discuss a spinal cord stimulator (SCS)
with you. I did the trial for 5 days but did not get the permanent one.
I'd really suggest doing your homework on that first. There's a subforum at the top for that too.
Vitamin C, magnesium citrate & vit. D3 has also helped me reduce Rx meds.
Sorry, can't type very long, Hope this helps!
