In theory, it makes sense, but right now, the stupid hot poker keeps getting rammed up the back of my head and I don't really like it. Anyway, my PM doctor was going to do a direct ON block and he didn't. He said that the RFA to C3 should take care of it. Time will tell, but right now, the ON's are pretty angry about all of this. I upped the dose of klonopin and I'm feeling pretty spacey too. And, I have the dizziness again that I got with the diagnostic blocks, so I'm begining to think that anything thats done to the cervicals effects more than I'd expect or my wiring is totally screwed up. I think i'd buy the latter more. And I'm watching the stupid calf muscle that keeps spazzing to see if all this has any effect on it(that may be related to the radiculopathy junk I've got going on). Oh well, our similarities are weird
I was diagnosed with ON 2 years ago.Neurontin(gabapentin) worked for 2 months only.I started treating myself with amitriptyline which my NS agreed to. Now I am being offered nerve block with alcohol/phenol injection or radio frequency neuroablation. What are the pros and cons
