@krisjb1 Your pain sounds awful and so does your frustration with the doctors you’ve seen. Have you been to a pain management clinic? Check with the hospitals in your area to find out if they have one.
Can you think of one thing that would get you to try the medication? What is it?

Medication is not being offered at the pain management office although I have previously used oxycodone to no avail. Epidural type injection in my neck with fluroscopy guidance and injected dye is suggested. I am not presently interested- not only because of the risk involved but also because there is no guarantee of pain relief for my headaches or for the annoying shoulder tingling caused by the compressed nerves. It would probably make my neck feel better, I'd guess. I deal with the neck pain with heated neck wraps and some traction which is helpful.
