Newly Diagnosed & Overwhelmed
Good evening all,
I had originally thought I would avoid all forums as the topics can be quite depressing-yet I understand it is a good outlet & can offer great insight and support. So here goes:
I've just been diagnosed 2 months ago (after 4 yrs of pain) & just now having major flare up as I think nerve block has stopped working. I have been referred to get another however I must travel to the states and no one is willing to do it over the Christmas week bc I will be a new patient. Does anyone know if I go into an ER if I can get the sympathetic nerve block done at Hospital? I have insurance, I just can't afford to make another trip to the states. I was diagnosed in Boston and will be going to Virginia for the holidays. I currently live in the Caribbean and do not trust ANYONE down here to do this injection.
Thanks for any advice on getting this done. It would be my Christmas miracle!
