Kelly,
I pray the blocks work for you, I had several of them from my pain
Docter(Anesthesiologist) & they did not help at all, & do
have some risks, I just wanted you to be aware of the small writing on the
forms you sign, & ask about the risks of the blocks, these
are nerve blocks you are talking about, that the pain management
gives?????? Some of the risks on the blocks they gave me I wasnt
aware till I started having problems, & they never told me till I was having
problems, he said you signed the forms & it said all the risks on there, heck
no-one explained it to me , at the hospital they were just initial
here...here...& here, so I just thought it was routine
consent forms, I just want you to be aware of the side effects
because now I cant do a darn thing about it because I signed the consents, so
just Please have them tell you the things that CAN happen, not meaning to
scare you just being a friend & want you to be aware, I had 7 of these blocks
done this year, & ended up
having surgery on july 12...... The pain Dr. I WAS going to informed
me that nerve blocks will NOT help Adhesion pain, but if it is
Phantom, or systomatic pain due to so many abdominal surgeries
then they will help, so just ask!!!!! Good luck & feel free to E-mail
me at "Sammyd832@aol.com", Hope this helps you & wasnt at all
meant to discourage you at all, just an experiance shared & thats what we are
all here for..................................................
Hugs, love, & luck...........Angie
