I had a transforaminal injection of C6 that caused me untold grief... argh.. but i will say that at 45 days post injection now and Butrans pain patch and Gabapentin.. it's feeling better. The good news is that usually when they hit a nerve during a procedure it will calm down by 6 months... (if you can call that good news... sigh..)

My neuro was no help what-so-ever... i think they just want to do work inside the brain, working on neck problems is way down on their list, the spine Dr. was way more helpful..
