Well #$@#$#@!!!
Nothing seems to be helping me tonight. Heating pad on high, SCS turned up to its own ouch, Lortabs taken as often as I dare and more Motrin then is good for my liver and kidneys.
I see the man tomorrow. Don't have any options but to try the ablation. Talked with our CRNA (the man with the goodies to make you sleep and not care during surgery ) A man I respect and trust. I would allow him to "put me to sleep" any time. I feel that is saying something for a cynical old nurse to say. Said he felt like the ablation would be worth a try. I am so torn. I see/hear anything and everything from: "It did no good"..."It hurt more then my pain before" to "was wonderful and no worse then a block" there is also the return of the pain anywhere from three weeks to 2 years.
I know all to well that the pain returns with a vengeance when it returns. Not wanting to repeat that "fun" EVER AGAIN! Not sure I can handle that again. But I am not sure how much longer I can do "this". Frustrated that I can relieve others pain at work, but do not seem to be able to control my own
Well enough whining from me.
