Hi everyone-Specialist wants me to do celiac plex block-Who has had it-Did it WORK?ka

[Guest guest]

ka,

I'm sorry your doctor is pressing the celiac plexus block. Is he pushing

the on through the back or through EUS? I've heard that the EUS is more

effective then the one through the back. Of course, this isn't personal

experience, just from listening to others on the board who have had it

done? You might want to ask him and if he's doing the one through the

back, see if he's willing to do the EUS one instead (or send you to

someone who can do it. I think Ellen has a list of doctors who do the

EUS block.). That's of course, if you decide to do it. I'd recommend my

doctor to you (since I live nea you), but I have Kaiser insurance, so it

wouldn't be of any help to you if you're not a Kaiser patient. Why are

they trying to get you off the pain meds (other than the obvious

narcotics are evil thoughts)? From what I've heard, there really isn't

much else they can do unless they can find a cure anytime soon. I wish I

could be of more help to you.
