I am on pain meds, but so tired of taking them just want my life back and want to be pain free. Have fought this for 12 years and no answers. Want to do nerve block to my back???? WHY it is not my back!! Hope someone can help me.
Brief Answer:
I need to have further medical data of yours...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and I need to have a few more details before running into final conclusions:
- Can you specify if the pain in the rectum you feel during bowel movement?
- do you suffer of constipation?
- is your lower back aching?
- is your pain more intense during physical activity or not related?
- any problem with hemorrhoids?
- can you give the reports of lab tests you did (blood work? colonoscopy?etc.)
Looking forward to have your details in for a more specific answer!
Thank you!
