So my pain specialist has suggested this treatment after two failed procedures tap block and intercostal nerve block for flank and abdominal pain since kidney surgery( my pain is assumed not to be coming from kidney but rather something else gone wrong from surgery). I am wondering if anybody else had this procedure and if it worked for them and for how long. My pain doctor said I have risk of paralysis besides the other complications and I need to take that into account. It is more scary to me because injections are directly in spine. He said I will also need this repeated every 6 months. If anyone has any personal experience with this procedure please let me know. Thanks
