Thanks for the very nice welcome!I have gone through the so called "normal" treatments , SGB's x 20 or so , RFA-which left me with permanent horners ugghhh , all the different meds with mixed results . And am now in the lets try to control the pain mode . Currently taking hydrocodone 10/500 5 times daily , lodine , nexium , dilaudid for break through pain . Some days are struggles to get through and some are better (preaching to choir , right?) . I have been very fortunate with W/C as they have approved all treatments and different procedures with little difficulty . Ketamine seems not to be possible due to cardio problems . Sorry to ramble , just wanted to say Thanks!!!
