Hello -

I was diagnosed with PN a few months ago. I was chatting up an urgent care doctor about my situation and they say that I may need a nerve block in the future. I had a few questions.

1. After the nerve block is performed, will I have full urinary and fecal inxontinence until it wears off?

2. Is it certain I'll have a flare up after?

Good morning,

You will feel numb along the distribution of the nerve, but will have no incontinence.

A flare is possible (most anything is possible) but very unlikely.

Best to make sure it is performed by a practiced professional.
