Hello @atchastain, I see that you have recently joined and would like to welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect. I did a search on Connect and did not find any posts other than this one for Stellate Ganglion Nerve Block. I did find some information that explains what it is but I'm guessing you already know what it is.

Stellate Ganglion Block -- https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/17507-stellate-ganglion-block

Has your doctor suggested a Sellate Ganglion Nerve Block? Are you able to share a little more about your condition or diagnosis?

@artscaping or @jenniferhunter may have some suggestions for you.

My spine surgeon suggested I try a Stellate Ganglion Block on the compressed nerves in my neck due to cervical stenosis. He said the pain management department would be the ones to help.
I’ve had unexplained headaches, roaring tinnitus and ear pressure for just over 3 years and he named them as Cervicogenic headaches. I’ve had an MR Myelogram of my cervical and thoracic spine which revealed stenosis at C4-7, a SPEC-CT to confirm and X-rays.
So I’m wondering if anyone has had this procedure done at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and what was the outcome?
