Judy - Block

[Guest guest]

Judy, this is a good site to read about some different kind of

blocks. I had the Ganglion Impar Block which I was really hoping would work,

but it didn’t for me. Everyone is so different in how they react to these

blocks. This is

given in the lower back and doesn’t hurt at all. The ones that are given

in the butt are more painful, but not bad.

-Hi Chelle,

I am having a nerve block in June. I know it is in the lower back so

I don't think it is the puedendal nerve? What do you mean be a hard

time due to the steroids used in the block? I am getting more and

more nervous about this. I know that when I use Lidocane my skin

flare up, and at the dentist I have some reaction to the novicane

they use. I don't know what I thought about nerve blocks, but I

wasn't thinking about the drugs used I guess. So any info. would be

great. I don't want more problems than I have already.

Thanks, Judy

anything else. I never had the pain leave for even an hour after

both rounds of the PN blocks. Still cannot sit without pain.

that wasn't really an option when flying to NH. I did what I thought

best at the time.

I'm not sure what is up with my body, but I just don't do well with

meds.
