Congrats on the relief! At the onset, I got one every few weeks. They really helped! As time went on, they were spread out. The last two, there was probably 3-4 months between blocks. I need one now as a whole lot of burning and deep bony aching has returned. Been 5-6 months now since the last. I guess I am happy that the blocks still have a positive effect on me for a month or so, but things degrade soon to where overall, my symptoms are worse than they were say 1-2 years ago. Overall, things are falling to ****! They call it entrophy. But I will continue with the blocks while they still work!

VFB....

I am so, so sorry..Only 3 days vacation... Maybe if you try again, you will get longer relief!! I had 4 out of 5 nerve blocks done, one every other week for 8 weeks... unfortunately, none worked... that is why my Dr. stopped after the 4th one...

I send you a hug...

Kathy
