They think the trauma of the block triggered all these new things and triggered some other condition which has yet to be diagnosed. I guess it just goes to show that things can always get worse so be happy with what you've got while you've got it. But am definitely changing pain docs because I don't think he should have done the second block after the first one cause those initial problems...but he did and that is in the past now. I'm just scared by all these new symptoms and I think it will probably be 4 weeks at least until I have a diagnosis and I just hate being in limbo not knowing what the problem is...

But I am keeping my chin up and I know that I WILL get better...it's just going to take a while. But all this has definitely been a learning experience as far as how I need to be the one taking control of my doc appointments and not just let them make all the decisions for me.
