epidural neurolysis/Racz Catheter Procedure

Just a quick post as I'm getting very sleepy...

Has anyone had an epidural neurolysis? Apparently I have more score tissue than I thought as well as the torn disc and repeat herniation. My doc is suggesting this as my next procedure instead of just an ESI if this ESI doesn't work. I guess gaining approval my be difficult so they're going to build my case as much as possible to get it pushed through for authorization.

I'm just looking for any feedback that anybody may have on this topic...

Also, talked to her about the Elavil issue and she told me to cut my pills in half and take 12.5mg...

Thanks guys for all of your support! Feeling good right now but of course I'm all kinds of numbed up and took a Xanax before the procedure to calm my nerves...

Off to bed for now,
Christine Smile
