That is where a good pain doctor who is an anestesolgist comes in. Have you see one cause who was going to preform the block? I would see one because they could give you better direction on meds and other treatment but also may give you driection on more what is going on.
I have heard that upping the dose comes with some nasty side effects. So far I have experienced none. What are yours?

I have had not x-rays nor MRI of the lower spine. I recall there being some issue with mild scoliosis when I was a kid but mom doesn't recall that, so I hope to follow up with that. My pain doctor is the one who also will do the nerve block.

Do you think it wise to see how far gabapentin will take me before I do the nerve block?
