Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guzzler" data-source="post: 1588489" data-attributes="member: 408573">[USER=396265]@Trishanne[/USER] Your situation almost mirrors mine.  I have cordal epidural + Gabapentin for severe sacral sciatica.  Without the injections the breakthrough pain is bad but without Gabapentin I find that the pain is unbearable.  I describe it as how it must feel to be tasered.  N.B I have never been tased!I am about to start a pain management course but have no high hopes of it doing any good.  Like you, I have days, sometimes weeks of being bedbound and it is at these times I feel almost as though my pain has me trapped, holding me hostage to medication with no hope of ever leading a normal life.  As you know, one can only have one round of injections in a six month period, I get about three ish months of good pain control but I have noticed that the first inklings that the injection is wearing off and my mood plummets, it takes all my will power to stay positive at times.I hope that you see some improvements soon so that you can return to some semblance of normality.  Best wishes.</blockquote>
