8 years old.Into her teen years we tried over and over to get to the cause but it was not hurting and very off and on.Last year the pain started a nd so do sdf our search for help and a diagnosis.Went to as neurologist knew right away it was
M.P Glad to have a name for the condition but it's been a merry go round of nuerontin Lyric a Tegretol cortisone injection,pain patches and a nerve block in her lumbar region to try and reach the nerve that way. Neurologist says not a candidate for surgery as well as orthopaedic doctor say no point in surgery. Have read that in rare cases surgery can help. She is age 24 not over weight and not diabetic.SHe is so depressed from th he pain and feels defeated.please any help or adviCE.We feel alone and lost.Thank you, Debbie K
