Kris Ann,
My surgeon is referring me to a pain management Dr.,
he thinks I need a nerve block, too. I already had a
epidural last year that did not help at all! Is this
what he is talking about? I don't want to go thru that
again. I have not been prescribed anything that gets
rid of my pain. I told the Dr. the only time I've been
free of pain in the last 2 3/4 yrs. is when I'm under
anesthesia! I get my sleep 2 or 3 hours at a time
because the pain keeps me awake. I'm just plain
miserable most of the time.
Take Care,
Rita
