My name is bev, i am 48 yrs old, happily married 29 years. On June 6th I will be getting a new daughter-in-law, and in dec my oldest son and wife will be giving us our first grandchild ! lot's to be grateful for. My health issues are trying to run my life and most days i feel like they are winning. I was in a minor car accident 3 yrs ago and suffered a injury from my seat belt. The pain is down my thigh, mostly very achy, but often sharp and stabbing, I have had 3 cortisone shots and now 3 "nerve block" shots. Dr mentioned today that we may want to think about "deading the nerve" can anyone help me with what that really means. If i can be pain free i will do it in a heartbeat, but don't know pros and cons. please share your experiences and therpys with me, thanks
