Hi Group,
Last week is one I will forever like to forget. During the facet proceedure the PM hit the sheath or nerve and I felt fire from tip of my thumb to tip of my toes ( she referred to it as para---- somthing but I did not catch the exact word. Does anyone know. I have tried to research it but no luck. I did not ask her as I am rather upset with her unprofessional handling of the after events which was a horror story in itself. I am hoping to see a new doctor soon. The nightmare pain lasted an hour. I think I read if someone experiencing this but have not been aboe to locate the reading. I would appreciate any help. I am lying around now getting more steriods after IV steriods after this event. With severe osteo in my middle age I am worried. The headaches continue. They were shock like big time prior to a regular nerve block but now constant pain with max of 10 minute relief at a time. Everyone says it will get better- how do these passerbys know? Thanks for any help.
We are all in some way in this together.

I am guessing Parastesis? It's the sensation of tingling and numbness in the body from damaged nerves, sometimes felt like an electrical shock sensation...just a wild guess, but it would make sense...
