What is the average cost of nerve blocks?

Post by pizzarios »

Both guided and unguided? Anybody remember? May have to pay out if pocket.
Not officially diagnosed. Pain began following MANY typical pn causing activities.
Intermittent IC type pain started 5/20/2012
Urologist said IC - did diet, meds etc with no improvement
Constant pn type pain and burning started 7/1/2012
Gp rx gabapentin & lidocaine, no improvement
Started PT 7/23/2012. pelvic MRI that showed osteitis pubis. PT miofascial on inguinal & psoas, pn pain greatly reduced. hip joint/lumbar pain started. 12/20/2012 - Hip MRA shows labral damage.

Pizzarios,

I am treated my Dr. Antolak. When I had my injections he billed them as an anesthesia so I didn't have to pay anything for them. The only payment I had to make was for the visit itself. I wish you the best of luck with this horrible illness that we are all suffering from!

Please see Bathsheba's post under cortisone nerve block. She said her cat scan guided block was $928 out of pocket.

2007-08 pelvic muscles spasms treated by EGS. 6/27/10 sat too long on hard chair- spasms, EGS not work Botox help, cortisone shots in coccyx help, still pain, PT found PNE & sent me to Dr Marvel nerve blocks & MRN, TG left surgery 5/9/11. I have chronic bunion pain surgery at age 21. TG gave me back enough sitting to keep my job & join in some social activities. I wish the best to everyone! 2019 luck with orthotics from pedorthist & great PT allowing me to get off oxycodone.
