I go to a pain clinic, not a neuro, for all of my injections. I am awake, but very sedated with versed and fentanyl. I feel no pain. Yes, I am fortunate. I had to wait over a year before being accepted to this clinic. What good are saline injections? My injections are either botox, anesthetic , or anesthetic plus steroids. To me, saline is like a plavebo6placebo. Another benefit to pain clinic is that my meds are prepared at a real, regulated pharmacy, and not an unregulated compounding pharmacy. That was a big issue a couple of years ago in the States. Ask for sedation and see how it goes. Good luck!

I'm so sorry to hear of your daughter's severe, chronic pain, and that you've had to endure neck and back surgery too. Pain isn't respectful of person or age. I believe the people who post here collectively empathize with you both. Each person is unique, and his/her pain experience is unique to them, and might not quite be up to being grateful for what they're experiencing. If it were one of my children experiencing this kind of suffering, I'd want to trade places with them, just as you certainly would want to do. It's so heartbreaking to witness your child enduring this kind of pain.
Please accept my wholehearted good wishes to you both for a resolution of what you are going through.
