I had the third block with no relief. I saw Dr. P and that was interesting. In the town I'm from I'm the worst case (and I Know there are people with worse cases) that any of my docs have ever seen, so they're super sympathetic, etc. But of course, with Dr. P, I was practically mild, like having a touch of RSD. He was very arrogant. And his interns...oy! Anyhow, he did include my family in the treatment plan, and that did mean a lot to me. I go back December 5th and 6th to have another nerve block done.

Classic Dr. P. What can we say?

Because my neurologist suggested that in my case I should consider a SCS but I'm too chicken:eek:

I've been considering the SCS for years, so I'm a cluckety cluck too! If I just had a crystal ball, it would make it so much easier.
