I have permanent sciatica due to degenerative discs , calcification of tendons, non healing fractures both feet , chronic anxiety and acute separation anxiety relating to grief and a sleeping disorder that leads to black outs due to deprivation.

Just wondering if anyone has had a nerve block and did it work?

I have Meralgia Parastheica and getting flares on a weekly basis which I am finding hard to cope with. I plan on approaching my GP about it and will not take no for an answer.

I hate getting up at 5 from pain or coughing or something, but I hate it less than trying to get back up at 8/9 AM to "start" the day and keep from taking a nap. Don't we need naps?
