The Rough and the Hard yet God is in Control
Today was a rough , I repeat rough . I had a medial branch facet-joint nerve pain block this morning. Those who know me knows that I don’t favor any type of treatments involving needles, but I know that if I want to have some measure of relief, it is the way to go. The medial branch nerve block is the first part of the treatment—then in two weeks, April 10th, I will go back and get a medial branch facet-joint denervation, where the nerves will be “burned” in that area and hopefully that part of my neck will give me less pain…for part at least. This is all from my whiplash injury from the car wreck over a year ago. My pain management doctor is just awesome. He works with me so well and knows and sees how much ALL my pain is (chronic and whiplash) affecting me. He can only do so much working with all the pain I struggle with what my disease (NF) carries, but he is diligent in open conversation with myself and all my doctors...
