Penn medicine long covid clinic, phila., pa
Does anyone have experience with the Penn medicine clinic in phila. For long covid? Or any alternative treatments in greater Philadelphia area? I am 5 years LC person, have been to many specialists in area. I look great on paper, this summer has been tough. Major symptoms are fatigue, eye pain, and shortness of breath. Thank you for any help!

The SGB did help me about 90%! It did truly change me life. I know several people who were suffering with several things. I told them about the SGB. They ALL had life changing results!! Any questions message me.

2 ReactionsWhat is SBG please?
suesmithrn, hi. Stellate Ganglion Block. I hope you message bataylor1975 because they know way more about it. I was looking for another post that raved about the treatment. SBG is a nerve block that seem to reset the autonomic nervous system. I had only one injection. I wanted to know what it was like before my mother had hers. Honestly even for someone without pain it is a marvelous experience.

Hey, I am seriously considering the SGB for chronic tension type headaches, neck tension-bad!, eye pain, stress/severe anxiety from Post concussion syndrome. i am nervous yet eager to get it done and hope it cures me!!!! I have dealt with this Chronic situation for 7 years! It is miserable.
Can you tell me if just 1 injection helped most of these people or did they have to continue to get them? I am from out of town and would have to travel to have it done. In my area, I am not real trustworthy of the places that perform the block???
Thanks for any info.
bethaw, most repeat the injections two to four times over several weeks. But I've heard of people needing 10 injections. Everything is so much more difficult when you have to travel. I'm the same about local providers. I'm not very experienced with only one injection only on one side. It's exciting that you may be so close to relief after seven years. I was going to suggest that you contact bataylor, but then thought I'd just get the conversation rolling.
