Thanks for replying BMW, forgive my ignorance, what is a "never block" ?

Thanks,

Dan

I with BMW. I would also encourage you to see another neuro and get their opinion. Depending on whats going on, you could have different options of treating whatever it is.
Take care!

Thanks BMW, I went to the ER last night for some relief. The shot they gave me didn't touch the pain (Toradal). I am miserable today as well. Whether migraine or what ever it is, it's horrible and I took the day off.

Thanks,

Dan
