Not sure what that is...is it like a nerve block? If so, that is not an option at this point. They say that only works for 6 months to a year and then the nerves grow back and will cause the pain again. If that’s not what it is, I will check after finding out what it is from you. :)

Thank you!

My laminectomy was for L4 and L5. The bones that were pressing the nerves were cut off and my own bone, from another vertebra, was fused, and screws stabilized the graft.
The surgery was done at Andrews Clinic in Gulf Breeze, FL. by Dr. Mark Giovanini. Google it.....micro spine surgery. This procedure is probably done near you. One night in hospital, short recovery time...

Good luck. I know what you are going through.
