I have recently been treated with nerve block injections (eight injections each every other week and given pain meds which I do not abuse at all
I am also taking flexerall and sometimes tamazapam at night to sleep

Yhe nerve block injections were given to me by a pain management clinic here in FL. and has helped. But this doctor is no longer acceptable to me. Now I have no medication and am bed ridden (practically)

I need help. I can no longer work and am so depressed. I moved to Florida to be with my daughter during her last semester of high school and have not been able to to see her because I dont want her to see me in such pain

Hi, you became a chronic pain patient, I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon, and use only those medicines.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe injections of Vitamin B1, 6, and 12, for 10 consecutive days, and to be continued one injection every week. and N.S.A.I.D. like diclophenac and paracetamol, for 10 days, then changed to acyclophenac and pararacetamol, then again change to the previous . I hope this regimen may help you. and slowly decrease the pain killers.
Thank you.
