Wow that's a mouthfull! Has anyone ever tried this? The Pain Management clinic I just went to recommended it. They use an ultrasound guided needle, go through your back, and block the plexis nerves that send pain signals to your brain. This particular one is for the pelvic region. I read the possible complications and infection was one of them. I asked the Dr. about that and he said we could give you antibiotics. I didn't think antibiotics helped the kind of reaction people like me have to invasive procedures. (Always get an infection and then more adhesions) They want me to try this soon. I said I have to think about it. I am having very high blood pressure and they think it is caused by under treated pain. Because of my job and the travel involved, I really can't take anything stronger than the Ultram I now take. It helps me move but doesn't completely take away pain. Any info greatly appreciated! Hang in there everyone!!
