Nerve blocks post surgery?

Post by Dave »

Has anyone had a nerve block after having decompression surgery? Were the results any better than before surgery?

I had one (unguided) but it only helped slightly temporarily. I've known of several people who tried them but I'm sorry, I've not heard of anyone having good results with nerve blocks after surgery.

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

Yes, i had some two years ago, and my fist one post surgery last thursday.

All were guided and were an exact hit every time. You get a shooting pain somwhere in your groin if they get it right, you will know if they use a local in with the steroid and you penis goes numb its kinda hard to miss. :o

As for the results this is the first one after the nerve was physically released from entrapment so time will tell.
