Thank you so much for your quick response. I have been able to persuade them to do a nerve block in that area. I will be getting it done on Tuesday. I have already failed conservative therapy (PT, medications, tens unit, trigger point injections) and I do have symptoms of root compression. It is to the point now where the condition is disabling. I can’t brush my hair, cut my food, etc…
Should I ask for a referral to a neurosurgeon if the nerve block is positive?
