CMP......need info....nerve sensitization - Pain Management Message Board

I was just reading on nerve sensitization - this doctor I saw two weeks ago brought this up as a potential problem to me until he saw my xrays then he shifted directions.

I just read something that caused me to have a light bulb moment. I had a nerve block last September and I began having immense unbearable excruitiating pain on the table and I have been on pain meds since. Prior to this injection I was on percocet here and there maybe 1/2 max a day 5-325. After this injection, I needed 6 a day just to get thru the day and still in immense pain.

Anyhow, this article that I was reading stating that this Myofascial Pain is sometimes caused by damage to the nerve sheath ? Do you know anything about this aspect of this?

Pepper, I'm going to start a thread explaining what myofascial pain is and what I have learned about it over the last 8 years. It seems, all of a sudden, that several people have posted that they have just been diagnosed and are asking about it, so I will try to explain all that I can.

As you will see in the thread, many things can cause CMP, so I hope it helps. Hugs, CMP/MM

Thanks. It is very interesting and to be honest it sounds like it could be part of my problem.
