I agree. I have been in extreme pain for several years. Mayo performed TPI as well as at other Dr’s. I have undergone countless TPI’s, a bilateral transforamenal injection to my T9, endoscopy’s, endoscopic ultrasound at Abbott, undergone thoracic Prolozone injections, neural therapy injections and not a single thing has helped. Mayo has offered no help other than to take counseling to manage the pain. Easy to say when it’s not you in the hurt-bag. I don’t need counseling. I need a medical procedure as Dr. Sweetser says. Once a nerve becomes entrapped my experience is that it doesn’t suddenly become unentrapped. I have a appointment coming up with Dr. Gillespie in Phoenix.
