Half a painkiller huh? Are they thinking of going ahead with the neurotomy for you? Doesn't sound like it'd do enough to be worth it IMHO. I was there before my ADR, and didn't mess with it because for me, taking the pain from 9 to 8.5 wasn't worth the hassle. But there were times I would've taken .02 points of relief. I hope you get some relief while waiting-talk about feeling like forever, huh?? Good luck, I wish for the best for you, and expect it!!
