A bit concerned

I had spinal denervation 4 days ago and I,m still in a lot of pain and don,t feel it,s worked at all. Does it take longer to stop hurting and am I being impatient?. I had nerve blocks and they worked straight away but only relieved my pain for 3 days. Can anyone give me some answers thankyou xx

Hi, I had nerve blocks and a denervation in my neck. I had more pain after the denervation until things settled down. It was 2 to 3 weeks before I had an improvement, but I didn't have a rapid response with the nerve block either. I think you need to give yourself a week or two to recover before you worry about if it was successful. Best of luck, I hope your denervation works really well for you.

I had it the other week or so ago, still not right BUT things that used to kill my back are easing off , the only thing that hasnt helped is nerve damage in my thighs they tingle like hell ........... but I have hope that this helps for a longer period this time!

Give it time etc , my wife won't let me do anything ! Ha ha !

hahaha you,re lucky as I,m on my own and wish someone would just make me a cuppa. Thankyou very much x

Yep I'm lucky ! But I would be more lucky if I didn't have to rely on her like I do as I have other issues too, she married a toy boy but I don't think she realised it would be her looking after me- instead of the other way around. So nope I'm not lucky at all if I was, you and I wouldn't be in this position that life seems to throw at us....

I had a spinal denervation done last August, mine took a good 10 days before the pain eases off. I had to call the hospital where I had it done, they said the pain will get worse before it gets any better. I just had another lot of facet joint injections done last Wednesday and I am still in pain from that. Hope this has helped you, but if it makes you feel better, call the place where you had it done and don't hesitate to ask them some questions. Hope you find relief soon.
