Had the block this morning

Another block should work, and it might build on the effects of this one.

I've had blocks that worked for a few hours and I've had blocks that have lasted for over a year (in an area of spread).

The technique of the doc can make a big difference, but not everyone reacts the same and it's impossible to predict.

I think it's bad advice to push your activity to the point where you'd normally cause a flare. That's never worked for me.

I called the pm office and they said that the local sometimes lasts a couple days in some people and before the steroid kicks in the nerve is irritated and inflamed (my neck is hot and red and puffy too). I really hope I have a couple weeks worth of relief and this is just a set back. You are right though pushing it was not helpful. Now I'm gonna try to use it as little as I can for the rest of the day and hope for the best. Thanks for your input. Hearing your experience makes me feel more positive

Jenni,

Good to hear it lasted for a couple days, my first block lasted about 4 days, and am excited to see today when I go back for my appointment, if they will do more!!

Let us know if they do more for you and how they work!!!
