@nicoleztg84 Yes, it's been a long time. I'm not getting any better. About 7-8 months ago, I had a Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted since the trial seemed to work a little. The SCS hasn't done much. We keep fooling around with different programs and intensity. I am not happy. A few weeks ago, my pain doc gave me another nerve block. Didn't do a thing. I'm suffering every day. It's controlling my life and I'm not happy about it. Thanks for asking. Here is something else I discovered. 4 times in the last 5 years, I had either Covid or the flu. Each time I had a few days of fever. Those fever days, NO NEUROPATHY pain. When the fever went away the pains returned.

@julkun interesting. What seems to be the cause of the neuropthy pain? Is it the spine, diabetes, piriformis, etc...? Where is your pain and what type is it? numbness tingling, shocks, heat, etc...

@julkun

That is very interesting. I too suffer with tons of nerve pain, mostly in my legs. At least 3 times, including last week I had covid or the flu or whatever. Something more than a cold anyway. Each time when I was at my sickest, my nerve pain would almost disappear until I started feeling better and then it would get worse than it was before I was sick. No idea why that is.
