I had my block done (first block) one week ago wednesday. I went down to a 2 - it was GREAT. Then I went to the ER for vertigo, and the ER doc set me off to a 5 and now when I flare it isn't below a 5. I am getting jerked around by the PM doctors staff. If I call to leave a message for the doc about my problems, the nurse calls me back and upsets me so I flare up due to being upset. Then another nurse calls and says ok, what is going on, I tell her all my new problems and she seems sincere - we'll see. This was all just last night.

Not sure what will happen now.

I was not scheduled for a SERIES of blocks. I have heard that if done in series they should help. Not always though depending on how long you have had it, how bad it is, how widespread it is, etc.

Good luck.

(I have Kaiser, so I don't have much of a choice. Hopefully you do.)
