Nerve blocks

After waiting 15 months i finally had nerve blocks at the pain clinic! Hopefully they will help and I can reduce the huge amount of painkillers I take every day.

I spoke to my consultant about further treatment - pulsed radiofrequency ablation for my inguinal neuropathy - unfortunately it is no longer funded by local NHS trust so either I will have to move to a different hospital where the wait is about 9 months or find a way to raise the £2500 - £3000 required.

The marathon continues

Hope everyone has a good day.

Hope the nerve blocks have worked and you feel some relief. Postcode lottery is rubbish for treatment but I hope you get the help you need x
