Hi StillTrying,
I am glad that you have found the messageboards..I've learned much from the experience of others, and have been given much sopport and understanding.

have you considered lidocain infusions..they have been very helpful to many...
I have an appointment on Friday where I will be inquiring about them, as well.
I'm sorry you are stil having much pain after all the meds and blocks...
Keep searching..the solution and/or relief could come soon..
hope4thebest
