Intercostal Block and pain pump

[Guest guest]

Hi met with my PM doc my nice new one what a difference he is a reall

blessing

he has scheduled the ontercostal block for the next few weeks to

narrow down the pain eg somatic viceral./ If it is viseral they will

do a series of trigger point injections to see if that helps.

I also am now onto medtronics and and have told him th enext step if

its found to be surgical damnage or visceral is a pain pump I am

pretty clear about that.

I have told my doc he can be the first to do it in his hopsital and on

me

I also saw the gastro and they are testing for celiac, pancretaitis

and others but he tends to feel I am the result of surgical damage

done via laprascope...... a good lesson out there for anyone who has

the option of gettign there gallbladder removed is to have it done

withough a laprascope there are just too many things that can go wrong

I am now in touch with th emedtronics rep in NZ and amd gettign info

sent to my doc and me and him to cal lmy pain doc to explain how these

pumps are done and work.

LOl I told him that dependign on teh outcome of the intercostal block

and the pain pump eg whether I get them then my mother may need to

make anotehr visit aka as the rottweiller to rarck the Head of Depts

up he laughed. I sai dyou dont want me in your hsopital as my mum

comes too lol. He laughed. I think he realises my mum does nto have

caller reluctance.

cheers
