Thank you everybody, I am glad I can come here. This is a workers comp case and the nurse case mgr has already denied me the cream the dr wants me to try. It is specially mixed, i know it has keta/keto/lidacaine and some other things. He said it will help with the burning. Anybody have any experience with something like this?? Now I worry that they won't let me get the blocks. The Ultram/Tramadol helps a bit (pain is down to a 6 from 7) and it helps me get to sleep but not for the whole night. I am terrified of the blocks but know that i must try. Hope they will put me to sleep. I wish my husband understood more. He says he knowws I don't feel well but he isn't getting it. e turns it around to himself and says that his stomach is in knots etc. I just want to tell him to shut up and get over it. I need him to be there for me. How do you get through to family members???
