Sorry you are dealing with this mess. It can be very difficult learning to live with this injury, but the odds of getting better are on your side.

If you are having pain I would go to my general doc and see what is recommended to help you. My doc put me on Neurontin and Effexor and Ultracet to help control the nerve pain. Tylenol isn't sufficient to control nerve pain. It is helpful to control the injured nerves impulses and that is were the antisiezure and antidepressant meds come into play.

I feel taking vitamins can't hurt you and might even help your healing. At least eat a well balanced diet so your body has the nutrients it needs to heal. There is reshearch that shows that methyl B12 helps nerve healing.

Good luck with your healing and hang in there until then.

Did you have sore throat the same time when you had your injection or after.

That is my fear what will happen if I get sick, because I haven't been sick for long time, so I am due to get flu this winter for sure.

I am trying to avoid cold days outside and I try to stay from crowded places so I would catch anything.

The worst is, I am repeating my visits to family doctor, where else better then catch cold, then in his waiting room, right?

Beth, I also agree, that your "crawling sensation" is most likely good sign.

That was one of the good things my OS said, that ones you feel tingling sensation, that means the healing process is starting.

I wish you, that it will be speedy recovery for you!
