This time they did a direct occipital block along with the medial branch block, four levels worth again. I'm once again enjoying the break from this miserable pain. I still have a big lump from the occipital block, but the doc warned me I would and I think he put a ton of meds in there. I'm following the same drill as before and don't go back now for another three weeks. Has anyone noticed weight gain or increased appetite with these injections?
I seem to be retaining water. Anyway, I hope the pain reduction lasts a little while longer. Keep your fingers crossed for me
