"i received this injection last night at va hospital in philadelphia. i just couldn&#039;t deal with peripheral neuropathy pain anymore. i hate narcotic medicine. so this was a great alternative it took a lot of pain away, i still feel light tingles but nowhere near what is was feeling prior. i have mri done to see where my nerve is trapped. i hope it&#039;s something i can resolve permanately, my girlfriend ask to describe pain, i told her basically it&#039;s a never ending root canal, and she immediately felt horrible for me. i urge people who have this don&#039;t delay treatment it jus gets unbearable, but this shot does work decently. however, it won&#039;t last more than couple days so make sure u get scripts for meds needed until u get mri done."
