Longest flare up ?

Post by Pisama »

What is your longest flare up after nerve block? And how many of you got permanent worsening after nerve block?

I got 2 months ago my 2.block. I got worse to my left labial, groin and inner thight. Not to backside of the nerve where I have also pain. It is different and stronger pain than my normal pain. Now my biggest worry is that this block made me bad until end of my life :( :( :( . Then I cant go even to the surgery because surgery can release the entrapment but not the hitmark of injektion. I didnt know that I still feel that new pain from injektion, but when I quit triptyl I realized that oh shit there it is still. I am more depressed than before.

It is difficult to make prognosis, how long the additional pain will last, but I guess that it will slowly fade away. Because the injection might irritatte nerve, but does not make new entrapment. I had really bad flair from ESW (extracorporeal shocking wave) - my terrible mistake, because my orthopedist persuated me that the pain comes from inguinal ligamnets, but after 6 months my pain went back to normal baseline pain (both the intensity as well as pattern). Keep the hope.
