So I had the lumbar nerve block today. I did feel a difference in pain and sensitivity but not all the way to my toes. After about 1 hour it was gone, thats all I got. They scheduled me next week Tuesday for an additional block.

I will continue to do my physical therapy, I was just approved by my ortho doctor I can start putting weight on my leg (25% this week). I had already been putting some weight on it but now I will go a little bit further. I will hit the pool every day. I am hoping I will the block next week will work better and for longer.

Visioniosiv regarding below
***Applied DMSO 50/50 mixed with vegetable glycerin to affected area 3-5x daily for 90 days***

I got some DMSO cream but it says it is for solvent purposes only?
