I was diagnosed with PNE in September 2011. I have had a series of 3 PNI injections each series about 5 weeks apart. I went for my last set of injections to find that the injections weren't helping my left side at all. I am currently taking, Vicodin, Lyrica, Amitriptyline and I am on a fentanyl pain patch. There are days that it even hurts to walk! I recently was able to start standing more at my job which helped alot. My question for everyone out there...is how do we know that this is really what is wrong with us? This is a very scary thing for me, I am only 33 years old and have small children. I did have a hysterectomy Oct of 2010 and ended up needed emergency surgery on New Year's of last year....The pain I am having is coming from an incision that was down because I was told that I had an abcess in my bartholin gland, but that wasn't the case at all....so I ended up another surgery to fix that situation and that is where all my pain is! It is so bad I can hardly walk some days...Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated! I do have a wonderful PNE Specialist that trained over in France and sounds very educated! Please Help!!
