Dear Kel,
I had a Superior Hypogastric Block done in November It failed and I was very
dissappointed as well as had a tremendous increase in pain and they told me
they could do nothing further for me and dropped me as a patient.
Fortunately I have 2 very caring Gyno's working for me and this wonderful
board to support. I was lead to the most caring Pain Management team I could
ever imagine . They have tried a number of things and all was going well
until for whatever reason I had an explosive pain spell and they had to
scramble to find me releif but they did and I am taking Methadone of course
we had to play with the dosage but finally got it and its wonderful. Now I'm
not saying we won't have to change the dose again in the future but thats
the advantage of having such a wonderful team working for you. I hope this
helps. Of course remember Kel that sometimes what works for one doesn't for
others and what doesn't work for some works for others. The block was not
too painfu! l I was sedated and minor pain after but Nothing compared to the
pain I already had. So don't be afraid to try it if It's offered to you. You
never know It may work for you.
Love and Best Wishes
Lillian

Lillian,
Thanks, Whew! I hope they don't drop me if it doesn't work. He doesn't want
to increase the pain meds so he said he wanted to be more aggressive.
I was also going to a Uro-Gyn for my bladder problems. Now she doesn't want
to see me until I have the spinal as the pessory she gave me caused too much
pain.
Kel
