SO glad you are feeling better. THose nerve blocks certainly help, don't they? I had surgery 2 weeks ago now and it looks like it didn't work at all. I ended up having to see my GP on Friday last week because I was in so much pain I was crying and feeling really queasy. I could not get in to see my pain specialist-she was way over booked, so I was screwed.

My GP is great and while she didn't quite know what to do for me, she decided the best she could come up with was to put me on a high dose of oral steroids (prednisone) for 5 days and see if that made some of the swelling around the nerves go down and help the pain some. It seems to have, though I still have the ON headache going on. I am still taking hydromorphone and then sleeping pills because the steroids make me wired.

Supposed to see the pain specialist on Thursday and I imagine get another nerve block. I will probably be back to once a week injections again. Whoopie!

Where's our magic wands when we need them eh?

Anyway, sending you lots of understanding about how cruddy this is to deal with and again, so glad youw ere able to get your shot again.
