I also have many allergies to medications. I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in both feet and my left knee, as well as small fiber neuropathy from the knees down. Just had nerve studies done and was dx with severe distal sensory and motor neuropathy. Lots of pain involved. Last July I had my second spinal cord stimulator implanted. My first was done in 2012. I seldom take my oxycodone. I also have DDD throughout my spine and see pain management on a regular basis. I find radio frequency ablation rids me of pain from 6 months to two years! I am blessed to have an incredible pain management doctor who is brilliant, suffers from pain himself, is very caring, and has a great positive attitude.

Wow sounds like you are going through a lot. Nice to have someone that understand how bad this pain is. Maybe you have to suffer to know it unfortunately. I find myself crying sometimes lie (many times)because you feel alone because no one truly understands what it takes away from you.

@barbbie, it is great to read that you have a good and trusting relationship with your pain management doctor. Congratulations for making the effort and being a cooperative patient. Sleep well tonight....Chris
