Good morning Jeff,
I have a question for you.
How was your surgeon able to isolate which nerves to cut? Where was the location of your pain?
My 1st procedure having the intercostal nerve blocks at different nerve locations along my right side of the underneath of my ribs around to my back is this Tuesday, the 28th.
This will be a diagnostic procedure to isolate the nerve/nerves. They use anesthetic for the Nerve Blocks. If this procedure is successful, then Radio Frequency Waves will be used to sever the nerves at each point.
I'll keep ya'll posted on my progress!
My procedure is being done at UF Pain Management Gainesville.
Dr. Fagiro is an anetheseoligst pain management doctor.
Please say a pray for me.
God Bless 🙌
