Dear Kel,
I had a Superior Hypogastric Block done in November It failed and I was very
dissappointed as well as had a tremendous increase in pain and they told me
they could do nothing further for me and dropped me as a patient. Fortunately
I have 2 very caring Gyno's working for me and this wonderful board to
support. I was lead to the most caring Pain Management team I could ever
imagine . They have tried a number of things and all was going well until for
whatever reason I had an explosive pain spell and they had to scramble to
find me releif but they did and I am taking Methadone of course we had to
play with the dosage but finally got it and its wonderful. Now I'm not saying
we won't have to change the dose again in the future but thats the advantage
of having such a wonderful team working for you. I hope this helps. Of
course remember Kel that sometimes what works for one doesn't for others and
what doesn't work for some works for others. The block was not too painful I
was sedated and minor pain after but Nothing compared to the pain I already
had. So don't be afraid to try it if It's offered to you. You never know It
may work for you.
Love and Best Wishes
Lillian
