However two months later everything has stalled and they are unsure what the next step they should take is going to be. I have been on medications from the start, and they have tried the nerve blocks with no success. I am really considering amputaion to get rid of the nightmare, am I wrong in thnking this way? Or do I stay the course of pain and misery and medication? I am lost and lossing hope and so is my family who is also struggling in this nightmare with me.
I am not as bad some, yet, but for those who have very aggresive cases I have heard good things at times about ketamine and spinal cord stimulators.
