I hope he told you that following the RFA, your pain may get worse before it gets better. I do hope you have good results. Feel free to post your experience after the fact and pop in and let us know how you're doing. Take care  |
My pain got MUCH worse after the blocks and no one told me this would happen. It's been over a month since my last one(3rd and final by my choice) and I have had some really bad pain. How long did it take for yours to subside???? Still have no idea what triggers mine so no ideas how to stop it. I also had the dizzyness and no one told me of that either. My injections were at C2-3 and I have a titanium plate right below. So far they have only told me I have Occipital nerve pain not neuralgia but at this point I would like to know the difference..
Thanks
