Sciatica pain after PN block

[Carnation]

Hi Violet,
Ten months after RFA It’s still affecting my sciatic nerve. I can hardly walk any more. I have an appointment for an orthopedic evaluation this month. I will definitely ask about the TENs unit also having a muscoskeletal ultrasound of the hip area. No amount of sticking needles or PT will stop this!

Thank you!
How are you doing with your recovery? Take care of yourself

I think quite well so far, it seems very surreal that I actually managed to get surgery in the end.
Week 5 so still early days but I am seeing improvement already.
Whilst I have a low opinion of pain doctors in general, botox may help establish whether your piriformis muscle is causing your problems. It could be a potential site of entrapment.
Good luck. I hope you're better soon.
