Well, getting permanently worse is not the typical result although it definitely can happen. I would think the more blocks you have the more likely it is to have a more extreme result. It might be a bit like tempting fate...

Go see Dr. Hibner to get proper treatment...that is what you need to do. Ali, Nerve blocks are not really experimental and all procedures come with a certain degree of risk. I think most of the doctors' intent is to help...not hurt...but unfortunately it seems that some people have bad reactions tha...

The problem is that anyone who has ANY medical procedure done is taking at least some sort of risk and there are definitely risks to nerve blocks including causing flares, new symptoms or making someone permanently worse. Has any doctor ever explained to you why the other 3 nerves blocks you had cau...

Don't apologize for posting but I will say that I think you need to calm yourself down. I have noticed in your posts that you seem extremely frantic and very, very distressed which is only going to exacerbate your symptoms. Do you have any medication to deal with the emotional side of things? Do you...

That is the first time I have heard of a post being deleted....at least on this forum...hopefully it was an accident?? I actually am interested in the content of the post....would be nice to know what we aren't supposed to say or questions we aren't supposed to ask on this forum.....

I totally agree! My cousin had a hard enough time after each of her deliveries and she doesn't have PN problems so I can only imagine how difficult it would be for someone who is dealing with a raging PN to look after a newborn...even with help. Pianogirl...I would go with your gut on this one. Post...

I think I remember reading that the French team has had patients (not sure how many) who have had babies after the surgery with no ill effect...there is no way for us to track those people obviously. Personally, I think it would be better to have a fixed nerve before a pregnancy rather than a pregna...

Interesting....my Mom experienced what felt like IC symptoms years ago and it turned out to be estrogen depeletion...she went on suppositories and her problem cleared up within a couple of days. I think I have an issue with vaginal estrogen...I tend to be dry and my skin can crack very easily...I do...
