7 days post nerve block and still way worse :(

Post by joeparz »

Hey guys

I had my nerve block a week ago and i went into a big flare up about 2-3 days after it and it has not died down.

How long do flare ups last? And when should i have seen results? 2 weeks? Longer?

Am i allowed to take baths?

Thanks so much

I have been trying to get my life back which is why i have not signed on in months, but still no luck :(

Lots of ice and I see no reason why you cannot take a bath. I went swimming 24 hours after getting several useless injections in my back last year.

I had a flare from a block that lasted 4-5 weeks. Hopefully your pain will start to calm down soon.
PN started 2004 from fall. Surgery in 2006 and 2007. Pain decreased by 85% in 2009, pain returned worse in 12/13. Pain reduced again in 2023.

I had flare-ups lasting 2-3 weeks after each of my 6 nerve blocks. What a useless and harmful procedure.
2002 PN pain started following a fall on a wet marble floor
2004 Headache in the pelvis clinic. Diagnosed with PNE by Drs. Jerome Weiss, Stephen Mann, and Rodney Anderson
2004-2007 PT, Botox, diagnosed with PNE by Dr. Sheldon Jordan
2010 MRN and 3T MRI showing PNE. Diagnosed with PNE by Dr. Aaron Filler. 2 failed PNE surgeries.
2011-2012 Horrific PN pain.
2013 Experimented with various Mind-body modalities
3/2014 Significantly better
11/2014 Cured. No pain whatsoever since
