Sorry i havent got back sooner.... I have been in terrible pain... I seen the PM today and he wants me on bed rest... no walking other then to get up for the bathroom that is it... he doesnt want me doing anything but laying down... Doing my Pt streachs 3 times daily and that is it... so i dont become in more pain from not streaching and things.... He thinks they hit a nerve as you all said.... He is taking about burn the stellait gangllion area... I am scared.... Really freaking scared..... He says he has never seen anyone like this... He is in ahhh... They upped my meds and gave me med to pretty much knock me out all the time... cant think of the name right now... So i may not be around much but i am in terrible pain .... I really hope you all having better days


Pain free days and gental hugs to all of you!!!

Wildberry,

Like I said up at the top read up on abalation, you should consider all the pros and cons. I had it done the only thing it did for me was decrease swelling. Any good Doc will explain that the nerves can and will grow back and not always in a good way. Please consider this seriously. I wouldn't want to be on bed rest to long, your legs, ankles and feet need the movement.

Good luck with what ever you decide, always remember it is your body, your decision what you do with it.

Hi,
I am abought to have my 10th nerve block in the back of my head. I dread them. I have a terrible reaction starting a few hours later pain & feeling generally ill the 1st 4days i just lie in bed feeling sorry for myself &
gradually get moving after that, but i`m 2 wks before feeling myself " whatever that is " but i must say the pain is much better for around 4-5 wks afterwards. I always say "No More" but i`m going on a cruise the 26th sept & that is my sole reason for having another block.
My pain consultant says it`s the steroids he`s also injecting that is causing my problem.
This is going to be my last one!!!!
