Hi Frank - I've just been diagnosed with ON too and am booked in to have the injections next Monday (30th). Mine was caused by a car accident in February and it's taken this long for them to diagnose me
I'm not sure if we do things differently in the UK but I'm having a general anaesthetic to have the injections, so I'll be asleep. To be honest, I much prefer this idea
I was under the impression that the injections I'm getting are into the nerve, but from what I've read on here - they may be into the surrounding area rather than the nerves themselves. I'm confused too!!!
Hope you're okay now. Let us know how you got on with the injections and if they gave you any relief.
