@bgator I read your short post and you don’t sound like your dealing with PN in a productive manner. Since I don’t know your story I’ll share some of mine. Fell in earthquake 1988 with subsequent L5-S1 fusion and L5 laminectomy. Fast forward I now have osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, chronic pain syndrome and PN. I rely on PT to update my home exercise program when a body part gives me trouble. I walk 2 miles daily and go to gym 2-3 times a week. I use primarily buprenorphine patches for my pain control and cannabis tinctures for breakthrough pain. My pain doc does injections like you noted and prescribes my pain meds but does not perform surgery as he’s an anesthesiologist. There are many like the one you went to but some people need that level of intervention. You unfortunately need to find what works for you like we all have done or are trying to.
