i had 2 days worth of relief after the blocks. That was it.. So my dr didnt feel the need to do them any longer. He also tried a beir block, which gave me relief as long as the arm was numb. He just worked in a setting where they dont DO meds that are "narcotics" unless i am terminal.. or cancer he said.. He is actually leaving the hospital next month, so either way i am up the creek without a paddle.. I just want someone to help me.. Not nessaceraliy(spelled that wrong) with narcotics. but some pain relief,lyrica alone wont do it.
