Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 You wanted to know about the celiac block. Well what I know is my doctor and my pain management doctor (Dr. Ready, He was a University of Washington pain management professor for 25 years before private practice) stated that the block at best will offer a couple of weeks of less or no pain. But the possible complications are many, perforated bowel, etc. My suggestion is to ask as many question as you can to your doctor, like how many has he done and with what success?
