Post Nerve block

Hello to all

I visited with another spine surgeon from Spine Care here in WY.
She does C Spine ADR with Pro Disc.Has a very open attitude about ADR.
Her suggestions were, no fusion, no Lumbar ADR were not their yet!
To do the least as possibly to relive my leg pain.
I am going to try nerve block injections in about 45 min.
I`ll post the results

Hi there,
Ive had nerve blocks after my fusion and disc replacement for nerve impingement from scar tissue causing leg pain, hed them 3 months ago and they took the pain away as soon as they were done, which is fantastic as at least I dont have leg pain with everything else, I was so grateful that they helped.
I wish you the very best of luck with your and hope that they are a success for you.
warm regards
sarah

Sometimes nerve blocks work, sometimes they don't. I hope they bring you some relief. Living with pain sucks!

Hi All

Still no results on the Nerve Block.
Dr said it may take a couple of days?
What do you think?

Thanks
Gil
