I have a ? about the nerve block. I had 2 in the area affected which didn't help. I heard though if off just by a little it doesn't work is that true? Also is the block just to allow you to be able to do more and not be in pain for a short period and then comes back or lasts or actually repairs? I had posted on my issue but I get confused with all these procedures and the catheter I may get is to lessen the pain so I can do extreme pt but doesn't fix the issue I guess the pt is suppose to and so doesn't atrophe but I still though doing more fear damage. When you say it hurts while doing it that is for sure but for people who have dealt with this longer does the pain get better in the long run? How does that happen. Ok sorry about positng on your post.
Anyhow I agree I would go to a neuro. I started first with the ortho,then to the foot/ankle,then the neuro's then the rsd specialist,anasteseolgist so on. I know my ortho wanted me to see a neuro to rule out any other issues. I'm glad I did because through this and I actually have pn other issues happend and it made me feel better I wasn't having a stroke so on cause the tests ruled it out. Is the pain doc actually an anasteseolgist?Hang in there.
