Yesterday, I had another epidural in my neck. The neurosurgeon told me if this one did not work, surgical options had to be considered. This time, the procedure was more painful, and was only done on the left side. For some reason, only the left side was being treated. I had taken my last dose of Neurotin at 6 am the previous day, so that I could more accurately judge the results. Again, the pain and numbness was gone after the procedure, and I felt normal again. Until about 10 pm that night, when my left hand felt like it had been stabbed with a shard of glass. The pain was so intense for 15 seconds, that I could not breathe or focus. Then it was gone.

By 6 a.m today, it was like I had never had anything done.

Oh well.

CLINICAL HISTORY: Bilateral forearm pain.
