My ON is very bad-the are working on seeing if an implant would work for me, but the red tape is endless.

Sometimes it helps to put a large gel icepack in my pillowcase and lie on it. I also take torridol when the pain goes off the charts.

Seeing and being assessed by a pain specialist is the best thing you can do-they will help you figure it out and help you manage your pain.
