Dr. Leticia Lau at Cedars told me that she knows a method of giving an S-I rhizotomy that doesn't incorporate 7 needles and has a strong success rate. I believe her:...

Alan, I'm so sorry to hear this. You deserve compensation at mininum.

I wish you well.
I hope your nerve pain is diminishing. I find that Cymbalta w/Neurontin (thanks Terry for the clarification) work well for nerve pain. Unfortunately, at a higher dose, e.g. 60...

Thank you M.

I will add that Cedars-Sinai Pain Center is scared to death of "opiate-induced hyperalgesia". One doctor's answer to my pain was Baclofen (never did anything in the "good" days) and I almost burst...

Thank you all. :)
My tolerance is utterly ridiculous. I started on 30 mg of Avinza that at first was a blessing. Now I'm at 240 mg morphine sulfate/day. What's going to happen one year from now? ...

Does tolerance = opiate hyperalgesia?
