Worked for awhile, then stopped. I had multiple blocks on C3-C7 for my arms.

I can only have the anesthetic w/o the steroid. I get steroid psychosis

It did work, but I am overdue for a new one.

every 6 - 8 months

Lyrica, Tegretol and Dilantin. Effectiveness wears off and the side effects from Tegretol and Dilantin have been extreme drowsiness, diarrohea and dry mouth..nothing from Lyrica and that drug kept me pain free for 7 weeks.

havent tried yet

I get nerve blocks in my ribs. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

had 1 shot years ago helped for 10 years, darn that hurt so much that I do not ever want to go through that again.

very very effective

for a couple days

I just got in to medial branch blockers and they are amazing! The ones that I am doing are medial branch blockers and for 6 hours my pain is lower than it has been in years. After the 6 hour period my pain flairs up really bad but I have one final procedure where they heat up the nerve ending and destroy them. I am very hopeful with this and have heard wonderful things.

the first 8 or so worked, then it lost it's touch

Epidurials have at times relieved the sciatica for a few yesrs

Take as many a year as they will let me have.

TN pain is the worst pain I ever had in my life. Side effects after surgery are soem numbness but pain is gone.
