Nerve Block

Thanks for the reply Diana-I’m having surgery on the 4th August.My C7 vertebrate has collapsed putting pressure on the nerve which is causing my pain.They are going to remove the tumour and pin above and below vertebrate.I will have to wear a collar for a few weeks afterwards.I so hope it will take away the pain and reduce the need for all the meds I’m taking,which give me no quality of life at all!

Hi Allicat,
All I can say is it worked for my pain–and my constipation by the way which was due to spinal compression! I do hope all goes well for you-- its a little scary having spinal surgery, but my experience was all good.
Cheers, Diana x

Thanks Diana,I really do hope it works and takes the pain away.My surgeon has said I might not get the movement back in my hand.A couple of days ago I noticed that my eyelid has drooped,so that might be permanent too!
I will be in hospital for a week then I’m going to stay with my Mum until I recover,so as soon as I get access to a computer I’ll let you know if it has worked.
