I used to be embarrassed to say this but it happened and I can't hide from it. I had ECTs for depression and my pdoc said it might help with the ON. But it didn't. I haven't had the nerve to get the nerve block done because I'm terrified of needles.  |
Hiya, I'm pleased (if that's the right word) that I'm not the only person who has been diagnosed with ON following a car accident.
I'm booked in for nerve root block injections on Monday next week. It's being done under a general anaesthetic, so at least I won't feel anything at the time. I'm really hoping that it'll get rid of my headaches and migraines.
Does anyone know how long these injections are likely to last? I'm being sent for physiotherapy 2 days after the injections and then once a week after that. I think the specialist is hoping that the injections followed by the physiotherapy will fix the problem full time...............but maybe that's just me being optimistic!!!
