Re: Repair of Nicked nerve?

Thank you Violet for your time and effort. My feet and toes are really messed up now, seems to be progressing. Feels like blow torch up butt. Last 3 months have been the worse in my life, and I have had some terrible things. Oh, why didn't I do a little more research.

Re: Repair of Nicked nerve?

My nerve block was almost 2 months ago Violet.. I had mostly the rectal branch for 6.6 years but now I feel it spreading to the other branches. Why would an anesthesiologist use lidocaine if it was toxic I wonder, and don't you think I would have felt the needle if it had struck the nerve. I wonder ...

Re: Repair of Nicked nerve?

Violet, anybody, can nerves slowly heal on their own? Or is this just going to slowly progress into full blown pn.

Re: Repair of Nicked nerve?

Violet. No I did not use steroids, only lidocaine and marcaine.. It was a funny feeling. Nothing unusual on the right side but the left block felt strange like when you have a scan of some kind and you feel that feeling of contrast flowing around. Like a flood of stuff . He used fluoroscopic approac...

Repair of Nicked nerve?

Can a pudendal nerve that has been possibly nicked or what ever by a needle during a nerve block be repaired by pudendal surgery. I'm one of the few that is worse after a nerve block. I mean much worse. I have never seen anything about this problem..

Re: Ultrasound or CT guided pudendal nerve block

Violet, went ahead after 6.6 years and had the lidocaine, and marcaine only diagnostic blocks and now I am worse. What could have happened? My surgeon and studies out of France say the steroids are pretty much useless. I know you have told others that it's probably a flare. Can that happen with a di...

Re: Surgery and Re-entrapment

Violet I may be wrong but i think I read something on the main page where you said that you have seen more success stories surgery wise. Is that true. I am thinking surgery because I'm so bad 6.6 years later and in bed 24/7 ....Thank you.

Re: Ultrasound or CT guided pudendal nerve block

Violet , do you mean nerve block with steroid before surgery? Or nerve block without steroids before surgery. I think I am close to surgery. Do the surgeons want steroids or just diagnostic blocks. Thanks.
