A pain clinic has suggested these saline injections. I have already tried over two years: multiple nerve blocks, special PT, acupuncture dual labral hip tear surgery, pelvic coil embolization, drugs. All no luck. Trying to become human again for 2013

Dave, is this like a nerve block that injects a large volume of fluid to try to free up the nerve? I don't remember seeing any literature on this relating to PNE but here is an abstract on using it for low back pain.
