Coccyx Block/Steroid and I didn't feel numb?

Post by rainyday »

Is that possible?

I got it today and never felt anywhere near numb unless the tailbone is too deep inside to really feel numb to me on the outside? When I had the sacrum block it felt like the whole left side of my butt was gone -- I was solidly numb for like a whole day almost.

Thanks

It's possible -- blocks don't always hit the intended target. Was it image guided?

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.
