[COLOR="Blue"]Hi Dawn, Thanks for wishing me luck. I don't know if this new Dr. is going to do this Brachial plexus block tomorrow, or if he is just going to sit down and explain what he is going to do?? Hey, Lady.. Thank you for remembering the name of this block!! I was ripping my hair out trying to remember! duh! LOL Anyway, I had this block done years ago when my I.V. blew and the pain and sweling didn't go away, a lady Dr. did this Brachial plexus block on me.(She was going to do more, but one block did the trick!) I had to stay in the hospital room for at least until I could raise my arm.. I couldn't! It felt like I had no right arm, but I got really giddy from it after about about a half hour! I was in the room laughing out loud all my myself. The door was open, I know the nurses could hear me, but I couldn't help LOL.. weird, huh?? I loved the fact, though that I felt no pain. I now know how a poor stroke victum felt, at least in one of his/her arm. This block lasted a good 20 hours or more. Towards midnight(I was already home by then, I got kinda scared thinking, OMG what if I will never move it again?? I went to sleep, slept like a baby since I had that pain for 2 months and when I got up in the morning, no pain.. the block (only one) did it's job!! wow! I am so happy that you like your new PMD(Pain management Doctor) I hope mine is nice and caring tomorrow. Thanks again Dawn and back atcha! Love, Desi I had to wait a few min. before writing back to you Ada.. My husband and little girl just now surprised me with a "beautiful smile yellow vase full of "Beautiful flowers".. Oh my I'm gonna cry! She is seven and had a musical card, then brought up the flowers.. she was so proud. My Birthday is not until the 18th. of July, but they said they are "Get well" flowers too!!! aww..
Ok, Ada No, this apparantly is not new.. I don't know how to put a link on here?? hmmmm.. I can do it on "Our smoking cesation board, but not on here!! weird! Anyway you can just type in"Brachial plexus block, and that takes ya right there! Thank you, Ada.. I hope this works for me too! I too believe what you said about Thoracic Outlet and Carpal Tunnal surgery brings out the RDS out! If I would hve known this, I never, ever would have had that CT surgery! Wow, Ada you had two rotator cuff surgeries?? How did you manage that?/Plus you had ulner nerve surgery as well!! Is there anyway, you can avoid having the Carpal tunnal surgery? Or does it have to be done? Ada, I never heard of triggerpoint shots. I will for sure ask for that, as I too have carpal Tunnal in my left hand, wrist. Thank you. Love, Desi
Hey there, Rogue! Thanks for the "Good Luck wishes, my friend.. that means a lot! I sure do hope that this pain management Doc. I see tomorrow helps me more than that idiot I went to for the 3 ganglion neck nerve blocks I had, but never helped!! Love, Desi
