Mike,

How did you get over C-diff? Are you accessing Boston Pain Management or are you using a local facility?

The first one helped. It took about two weeks before the effects were felt but the pain subsided considerably. I don't get the purple foot I used to get from standing for half an hour. It still swells and by night time It gets stiff, but otherwise, it's a lot better than before. The second shot included prednisone:

Patient laid on the fluoroscopy table in the prone position.
Procedure Details:
Body area: trunk
Location: sympathetic

Needle size: 22 G
Location technique: anatomical landmarks (Fluoroscopic guidance)
5 mL lidocaine PF 1% (10 mg/mL); 10 mL bupivacaine PF 0.5% (5 mg/mL);
5 mL iohexol 300 mg iodine/mL; 40 mg methylPREDNISolone acetate 40 mg/mL
Patient was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion.
Post-procedure Details:
The patient was observed in the ambulatory surgery department.
Instructions: post-procedure instructions were reviewed
The patient discharged from clinic in stable condition.

Sorry to say these did not work for me...wanted to update for anyone else reading this. Now debating between ketamine, a SCS or doing nothing.

The c. dif was taken care of in the hospital, UMass Memorial. I was there for thirteen days. Intravenous Vancomycin for three days as well as orally for two weeks. I ordered yogurt with every meal and it was suggested that, once home, I take a probiotic.

Tky. I asked, because I wondered if you needed a fecal transplant. I am considering one, not for C-Diff which I do not have, but for CRPS. My stomach issues, began right after my accident that triggered CRPS, so I am hoping that restoring my lower bowel microbiota might help with a remission.
