Nerve block.

[jimister]

Has anyone had a coeliac plexus nerve block for chronic Pancreas pain, and if so did it help?

I’ve had one. Unfortunately it didn’t work. I read last week about a procedure in which the nerves are permanently cut. I plan to ask my doctor about it.

Thanks. I have been offered one but not sure what to do. I was told that there was 50% chance of it working. Don't know if it was a permanent one or just temporary that would require doing again in the future. Shame yours didn't work for you.

It probably wasn’t a permanent one, butI would ask. I plan to.

I’ve had several nerve blocks and two ablations and none of it worked. I have pain every day

[jimister in reply to Kirkski]

It is so disheartening when you have such hope that this procedure will give you some relief, and it doesn't. I don't know if I should go ahead with this or am I just wasting my time.

Hi I know you posted this a year ago but did you have any progress with the Celiac Plexus Block? Did you have another one or did you find anything else that helps? Thank you xx

hi, I know you posted this a long time ago but I just wondered if you had the Celiac Plexus Block? Did it help? I have been researching it and discussing with my pain specialist however I would prefer to hear from someone who has actually had one thank you xx

[jimister in reply to MyStar86]

No, I didn't have it done.

[MyStar86 in reply to jimister]

What made you not have it done? Did ylu have any other treatment?

[jimister in reply to MyStar86]

I have developed some other health problems, so my time has been taken up with dealing with that. I have to say that although I do still have pain, it has not been as bad since I stopped taking the drugs for Osteoporosis they were definitely aggravating the problem, even the injection, and intravenous infusion was causing upper abdominal pain. I had been taking those drugs for 5years.

[MyStar86 in reply to jimister]

thank you for your reply I have also stopped the bone infusions but that hasn’t helped with my pain 😭. I hope your other health conditions are getting the treatment that you need and you are doing better.

[Susaberry]

It didn’t work for me.

[MyStar86 in reply to Susaberry]

Have you tried any other treatments since? Have you found anything that helps? Thank you

[Susaberry in reply to MyStar86]

Unfortunately, I haven’t.
