Thanks, Jean....I remember that you had had some sort of injections, but I couldn't remember exactly what. To answer your question, they wanted to do it through my back to help with(and I think I'm saying this right), sympathetic pain signals from the viscera...he expained that in theory, someone who developed pancreatitis would not feel the pain from it. I have decided it's not for me though...the adhesion pain I am having is(I'm almost positive) from what's connected to the abdominal wall...he said the nerve blocks would not help with this type of pain.

Love,

Janet

Janet, I don't remember if I told you that I also had 3 epidural nerve blocks in my spine and I got no relief of my hip or abdominal problems at all. I wasn't sure with your previous post if you meant they wanted to give them your back or belly and I never had them in my belly. JEAN

Dear Helen,

Well, it took me a little more pondering, but I'm with you, the idea of it scares me and just doesn't feel right. He did not mention any other options, but my search is still on!

Love you,

Janet
