Happy Sunday,
First, please let me tell you how much I love your 'user name'!
I am sorry you have had no luck with your pain doc's injections.
Have you tried any other pain docs?
I went to about 5 before I found someone who actually helped me!
I saw him for 4 years and when the shots no longer worked I opted for surgery.
For me, it was the right choice as I had to try something to help me get some sort of quality of life.
I found a great surgeon and after being in chronic pain 24/7 for over a decade, I am no PAIN FREE.
All I am saying, do a lot of research and read what patients are saying about the doctor.
You might find the right one to help you, I did!

Have a good rest of your day!
Ronnie (GRANDMAr)

Thanks for liking my user name 🙂 I finally found a couple doctors that are actually working with me. I spent 15 years just labeled a chronic pain patient. Every time they did an MRI I was told they didn't see anything that would cause my pain, labeled a chronic pain patient, and offered more injections that never work. I've learned so much about the medical field over the years! Just within the last year they figured out what the problem is and it was visible on every MRI I had over the years but was an incidental finding so it was ignored. Now I'm pretty much bedridden and fighting with insurance because they denied the surgery that I need. Sorry for venting! Anyway, right now the team of doctors I have are great but I still need to find a good neurologist. My doctors say they can't even suggest a good one in the area. Reading the reviews and looking a bunch of them up, I believe the doctors are telling me the truth. I have an appt. on Tues. with one so I have my fingers crossed! So happy to hear that you have finally found relief. Trust me, I understand the struggle getting there!
