Its been a few since I been here, I wanted to play catch up. I have now had 2 Blocks and will have the 3rd one on Monday. They have been what I perceive to be successful as the pain is getting less and less with each block. I have on the other hand been having the side effects of the Amptriplyn (sp) it has raised my blood pressure and man all i wanna do is sleep even when it is in 2 hour increments. I have felt somewhat depressed but that can all be also due to the fact that I'm no longer doing light duty as of 1/31/11 policy states no more than 180 days I have reached that limit....go figure. I have been slowly reading posts and research how to handle things from here. I feel ready to go back to work by the end of the month as PT is beginning to progress since the blocks. I pray that everyone here is blessed by the hand of GOD in all there struggles with this condition. Will check in soon.
