I don't think my nerve pain is considered peripheral. My doctor told me that I stretched and damaged the nerve when I fractured my L-3 in an ATV accident. I have tried multiple steroid injections, a nerve root block, and two different types of medications. I currently just take pain pills all day. The next step is the testing before they do a dorsal column stimulator.
I don't believe the dorsal column stimulator is an option for me because of my type of work. We have a ranch and the work is strenuous and we drive a lot of machinery.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this type of injury, and if a second opinion from a hospital like John Hopkins, or the Mayo Clinic would be helpful?
Thanks for the help.
