I am 52M with cronic diabetic neuropathy of both feet, have had spinal chord stimulater (Failed) the Dellon procedure Nerve decompression surgery (Failed) Spinal injections (Lasted for 7 hours) and have taken every anti-depressant, Lyrica, Gaprepentin and much, much more. I was taing about 700 pain meds a month, not kidding and still did not sleep or get much relief. Over 40 er visits in a year and they would inject Dilaudid and I would be OK for about 5-8 hours and then it would creep back in, got to the point that I barley walked for the last year, Pain doctors just gave me more pills, 2 months ago I found a GP and she started me on Home Dilaudid injections (muscular not vein) I have had the best 2 months of the last 3 years, I inject 8-10 times a day 2mg 1cc, seems drastic but I am walking, the stigma of being a junkie worried me but like I said, I Am Walking, the shots seem to be working shorter and shorter and I am very worried about it because I am not going back to the 24 hour pain, I have a great family and do love life but refuse to go back to the constant pain, I hope this helps you in any way.
