Genicular nerve block

After having both knee replacements 2yrs ago. I'm in constant pain, it's now a neuropathic problem it seems so I'm considering the genicular nerve block in both knees. I'm hoping if it works i can finally ease up on all the painkillers i have to take. Has anyone had success with this type of treatment? Would love to hear from anyone.

That sounds a most positive bit of news. After so much pain it looks as if you may have a solution to the problem. Best wishes - Pete

Yes pete, it is good news if it works. I can't bear all the painkillers in on as it's giving me terrible stomach pains. If the nerve block works then I'll know it's neuropathy. However I just can't bear this pain so anything will be a relief. Merry Christmas pete.

Wondering if you went ahead with the Radiofrequency Ablation Genicular nerve block. I did two trial nerve blocks to see if the ablation would be helpful. I did have the ablation a few days ago and was looking to see if anyone else had had this when I saw your post.
