Lindy,
I suffer from chronic pelvic pain.I did have
the hypergastric plexus block and it worked very
well.The only thing is I only got 24 hours relief and
they consider 3 days relief responding to the
block.After a series of 3 they discharged me.I think
they were on to something b/c I did respond.The only
thing is you cant issolate the nerve when you do the
hypogastric plexus b/c its the area of the spine where
all the nerves collect at the L-5,S-1.It would be more
benificial if you could isolate the nerve that way you
can have nerve blocks done specificaly to that nerve.
They have never isolated the nerve on me Ive had
several differnt kinds of nerve blocks.The thing is,is
that most were done in the spine and when you have
pelvic pain they need to also be working with the
pelvic nerves.I think I have a problem with my
genitofemoral nerve but I cant find a Dr. who knows
and works with female related nerve issues here in
mich.Im also on a vuvlodynia support group thru yahooo
and Kristy is getting nerve blocks
and getting a month relief at a time but she has a
Dr. who works with female related chronic pain so her
Dr. can find the nerves exactly.She is getting an
injection that goes in to the genitofemoral nerve and
they go thru the labia majora.Her Dr. is using
Lidocain,Marcaine and Sarapin in the injection.If the
nerve block doesnt work its b/c they didnt get the
right area.If your gonna get nerve blocks make sure
you keep track of what nerves they do.
I did get my most relief when I had a procedure called
Racz Epiduralysis that was to treat the adhesions I
have at the spinal cord from 2 prior back surgeries.I
got 7 days releif from my chronic pelvic and back
pain.The Neuroniton is correct.It doesnt really work
well until you get to the high ML. like 1200 pluse.I
did get reilef from Neuroniton but I have stomach
problems from years of pain meds. and I wasnt able to
tollerate it for that purpose.
Good Luck,Tami
