Hi Ginger, I am curious if you ever went ahead with the phenol injection? I
have been suppose to go to OHSU in
Portland, Or. to see about Celious Plexis block injections. I have had to
keep putting it off because of no health insurance.
I will finally have health ins. on Dec. 1st. I will be seeing 2 specialists
at OHSU for a consult to decide what may be best for me. I hear that the
Celious Plexis Block will lessen my pain, but probably not take it away
because my adhesions are more intense than the other patients my Gastro has.
Oh JOY! So just for more research and info, I am wondering how it all went
for you. At this time ant type of surgery is just not an option! I don't
have it in me to have any surgeries. I have had my Mom offer to pay for me
to go back to Germany to see Dr. K. for surgery again. I have complete faith
in him. I am not ready that's all. I have been through too many surgeries
(12). If there was a complete guarantee I would hop right on the gurney and
go for it. I hope that it was a success for you. When you can, will you
please let me/all of us on this site know how it went for you. Take care,
and thanks, Cheryl D.
