Thank you for sharing! I'm hopeful that I'm on the right path and I hope that your appt in Feb shines some light on what needs to be done to get you out of pain. My doctor prefers to be systematic and methodical. Of course, after 20 months of constant pain, I'm looking for relief NOW. However, I have to work within the system. Once you are in chronic pain the system moves very slowly....sadly. I'm at the "wait and see what the trigger point does over the next week" phase. Next step is to repeat the injection and depending on what happens, he has suggested the TAPS injection as the next step. We discussed the celiac plexus block and splanchnic block as future plans. I am also looking to get an appt. at Stanford with a Dr. Thomas Wilson, a peripheral nerve surgeon, to assess for potential nerve ablation or nervectomy. One step at a time.
