Hi Bobber,
I am sooooo sorry to hear about your having to be in much more agonizing pain because of some idiot who thinks you were a lab rat or something. Some of these so called doctors make me sick how they treat people. I pray you will be feeling better soon. I had the misfortune the first time I had nerve blocks with a pain mgmt "specialist." He decided to inject THREE needles (as if the first one wasn't enough) into my spine and I immediately felt agonizing pain and just wanted to die from the agony of it and wanted it to stop. He did use the scope/xray thing to see where he was placing the needles. However, he neglected to give me any type of pain medicine or anything to numb some of the pain. Well, my blood pressure dropped, I started hypervenilating, and my hands curled up and would not move. It was worse than my 20 hours of natural childbirth (Which I told him was nothing compared to that agony). He tried it again a few weeks later and I was a mess and thank God had a different doctor and I told them before the procedure they had to IV me with pain meds. What a nightmare it was and I feel so horrible for you that now you have severe pain in your lower part of your body. Please take care and I will keep you in my prayers. It is amazing the things we go through with this monster. I tell people that you cannot be a wimpy person and go through RSD or you won't make it a day! Hang in there Buddy.
