Like, Ada The nerve blocks were a God send to me! I had 2 nerve blocks so far and I will know for sure if I am indeed in remission.(I go to my PMD in 3 weeks, or is it 2 weeks? LOL gotta check my calender). I have no pain, since the 2nd. nerve block was done on Nov. 1st. I don't know how to act anymore, since pain was my shadow . It's great to feel "0" pain. My first block lasted 4-5 hrs. the 2nd. block lasted a good 14-15 hrs. I would also like to welcome you here and I hope you stay, because there are lots of nice people who can give you good advice. Good luck ~Love, Desi
