Well, after what I thought would be a rountine pain Dr. check-up turned into scheduling for a nerve burning procedure.
Both of my nerve blocks didn't work. I got 1-2 days pain free, and was suppose to get 3-4 months pain free.
The first nerve burning procedure will be this coming Monday morning at 9:15am. I will be sedated again, and the procedure will take about a hour.
The objective is to burn the nerve(s) so that the nerve will no longer send signals to my brain saying that I am in pain. I will have 2 of these procedures done, but then end result is that I am suppose to have a longer time without pain.
My second procedure will be Monday the 16th.
The Dr. also said that it is normal for the nerve blocks not to work on a patient that has been in as much pain as I have and for as long as I have.
The Dr. also increased another one of my pain meds, so I will be taking it more often throughout the day.
Hopefully the nerve burning will work and I can get some pain relief.
Please be praying that the burns will help.

Praying for you that you will finally be able to feel some relief from the pain but praising God that it seems as if you have finally found a doctor who understands. I hope things are starting to look up for you.
Blessings
