Hi everyone I'm a newbie. I had sudden pain left shoulder blade, then spread across left shoulder down to my fingers. Doc quickly diagnosed some kind of neuropathy. Eventually had mri and even later saw consultant who confirmed nerve impingement on 3 vertebrae. Now awaiting steroid injection. I'm on 600mg pregabalin x3 daily. Is there always this delay before surgery? Feeling fed up  - not eager for surgery but frustrated that it's so hard to get info out of doctors. Anyone else going through this?

    I've somehow subtitled my question as 'disability rights' and don't know how to change it ...Its just a general post

    No worries, I popped your post over into our Physical and Neurological Impairments section of the forum. I'm so sorry you have been feeling fed up. I do hope the steroid injections help!
