Welcome from me as well, but I'm sorry you have to be here.

I've just undergone my second nerve block to the ON and that is doing pretty good right now. I'm simultaneously undergoing diagnostic medial branch blocks for spine/facet problems and just had my second one of those too. The first one really set off my ON so this time he did the medial branch block with the ON block. My pain management doc is trying really hard to keep from giving me more meds to treat this problem as I'm already on a bunch of other meds for other conditons and I have a lot of problems taking meds. Having said that, have any of your doctors recommended that you try any of the anticonvulsants? That is usually what they prescribe for this condition. I'm not a doctor and I'm just learning tons about this and my other problems so please bear that in mind. I do know how you feel as mine is there 24/7 and it gets old. The previous two weeks were like that for me and the relief I'm getting right now is pretty awesome and way over due.
