Very Worried

I saw the other pain dr. today. He told me we can not go on giving me nerve block shots in the neck much longer. My other doctor who is on vacation didn't mention that. I, however, did realize I can not keep getting such large shots in the same spot in the neck forever. I was not prepared to be without them soon. I see him again next week. He said there is a medicine he could add to my gabapentin and amitriptolyne. He doesn't always get the results he wants, but every patient is different. Like I am not loopy enough from my drugs I have now, lol!! He is hesitant for me to use a pain creme because of the SE's. My pain goes away with regular shots. I hate to go back to the way it was before. I needed help dressing, could hardly do any house work, cooking was hard because I couldn't lift my arms and carry bowls, pots, etc. Heck, even holding my arm to brush my teeth was hard. Drying off with a towel hurt, washing with a loofa spongey thing hurt. Any gardening is out the window, but that is not til next summer. I am so disappointed.
Even if this doctor has some recommendations, I still want to see my regular doctor for his opinion.
