Thank you so much for responding, asking how I was feeling and moving my post so it might get responses. I have had so many procedures on y spine and back that I am not worried, just praying this procedure might be the miracle that would alleviate some of my pain. I have had 6 spinal surgeries, too many epidurals, nerve root blocks, facet joint injections, ablations to count over the past 20 years not to mention a spinal cord stimulator that was implanted this January. Nothing is helping so I am trusting God that this might be the thing that will help. Yesterday in my adult Sunday School class one of the women came up to me and told me she also had a spinal cord stimulator implanted and it didn't work so she had it removed then she had the intercostal nerve blocks and they didn't work either plus numerous other procedures but no spinal surgeries. I asked her how she is now and she said she lives in great pain every day and takes 900mg of Neurontin along with meloxicam daily just to function and has done that for the past 10 years. She was originally on 1200mg of Neurontin but has cut back to 900mg recently. It sure isn't fun to have constant pain but things could be worse when you look around and see what others are suffering. So I am so grateful for each and every day God gives me. He is the one who is in control of whether or not these procedures work not the doctors. So I sit back, do what I can and leave the rest in His ever capable hands. Bless you again for responding.
