Greetings @nrivers. It is nice to see you posting on Connect again. My path through the testing and evaluation was also completed at Mayo. My medication path seems to be similar to yours, although I have not used Novocain for numbness and shooting pains. Your post is the first time I have seen Novacain mentioned. Gabapentin was my only resource from the initial diagnosis 11 years ago. I have given up on Gabapentin and replaced it with medical cannabis plus ibuprofen.
I noticed your mention of the pain rehab clinic. It just might be helpful for you to meet @rwinney, who has completed the life-changing experience and continues to support the PRC as well as holding a mentorship for Chronic pain here on Connect.
May you be safe, protected and free from inner and outer harm.
Chris

Hi Chris,
Yes, thanks for rwinney's name. I will ck in with them.
I don't actually take Novacaine; I meant that the sensations are similar to the sensations in your mouth after a dental procedure, when it's just starting to wear off. Numb, but also beginning to hurt.
I also have the feeling of being very cold and yet burning at the same time. It's just so weird!
But I am doing OK.
Thanks for your encouragement and for sharing your experience and the treatment that helps you.
Blessings on the journey.
NRivers
