I don't have any experience with that kind of block.

But I did want to wish you the very best of luck with your newest efforts in fighting this beast. Good luck and hang in there....

Much love, Sandy

The popliteal block is given at the back of the knee to the common peroneal nerve (I think) in order to numb the lower limb and foot. The numbness will last from 12 to 18 hours?

Wouldn't it be great if this process would re-boot (no pun intended ) the nerves in my foot!
Oh well, I can dream on, it gives me hope!

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this procedure!
Sending hugs
