WARNING FOR NERVE OBLATION!!/Jill

[Guest guest]

OMG! Jill! I was just peeping at my e-mail while Jack is watching a movie

during rest time (I'm the one who really needs the rest, but I tell him it's

him) and I saw this about the nerve oblation.

I can hardly believe you ever went through that. It sounds like some kind of

torture from the dark ages. Or like years ago when psychiatric hospitals used

shock treatments on patients. (Remember One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?) What

a horrible experience! I want to cry for you. I feel so badly that a doctor

would ever do such a thing. I hope you never went back to that doctor.

Those two words, Nerve Oblation, are burned into my brain and I will always

remember not let anyone do that to me. Thanks for the warning.

I don't have many fears or phobias but being tied up or held down is

definitely one of them.

Better get back on the sofa before he notices I'm not watching the movie.

(The computer is in the same room he is in.)

TTFN,

Marti

Debra,

I had those last summer. The same thing happened to me....I was crying it hurt

so bad. Finlly they got me more sedated. It did not help at all. I had the same

bills too....bills, bills, bills....it never ends. The injections will

traumatize the area, so give it a few days. Hopefully, you will feel great!!

For all of those who have injections and nerve pain I want you to know what is

involved if your Dr. wants you to have a nerve oblation. My Dr. convinced me to

do this after all my injections failed. When I asked what was involved, he told

me it was pretty much the same as the injections while also under sedation. HUGE

LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's what really goes on.

They put in the IV and give you a mild sedation. Not so bad. Then you lie down

on your stomach and get into postion like the injections....still fine. Then I

should have known I was in trouble because they TIED my hands and arms

down!!!!!!! I have a phobia of being tied down or being trapped, but I was

sedated enough that when I resisited, it didn't help. Next they take the huge

needle and insert it into a nerve bundle....OMG! But here's what just about

killed me off.......then they send an electrical current into the nerve bundle

and you have to tell them if you feel it running

down your arm. So, yes, you will be awake for this. You are so confused and are

in pain it takes a few seconds to answer, so they are still sending the current.

If it's not running down your arm, they burn the bundle. They burn the nerve

bundle while you are awake.........They repeated this in different bundles about

12 times. I was sobbing. I can still remember it so vividly. I even have

nightmares about it. And my phobia of being tied down....yup, it's worse! Also,

I thought this Dr. was fibro friendly. Do you really think this kind of

emotional and physical trauma is good for someone with fibro? I had it done it

the cervical area last Oct. and my skin still burns and it created more pain. He

actually wanted to do it again.........NOT A CHANCE!!!! It cost me a bundle and

made me worse! He keeps saying that I'm resisting treatment so maybe he

shouldn't keep doing pain meds. I just tell him that I have really bad insurance

and it will change in June, then I can start his

" treatments " again. But really I'm moving. I am having an MRI next week because

he thinks I might have a herniated disk. If I do, he won't be treating it.
