I don't think my nerve pain is considered peripheral. My doctor told me that I stretched and damaged the nerve when I fractured my L-3 in an ATV accident. I have tried multiple steroid injections, a nerve root block, and two different types of medications. I currently just take pain pills all day. The next step is the testing before they do a dorsal column stimulator.
I don't believe the dorsal column stimulator is an option for me because of my type of work. We have a ranch and the work is strenuous and we drive a lot of machinery. I was wondering if anyone else has had this type of injury, and if a second opinion from a hospital like John Hopkins, or the Mayo Clinic would be helpful? Thanks for the help. |

Hello,
Have you found our Spinal Disorders & Back Pain forum? You may want to place a copy of your post there also. (For discussion of all spinal cord injuries, spinal issues, back-related pain or problems.) here is the link to it- http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum22.html I think the members there may be of help with info about the L3/damaged nerve.
