Genicular nerve block/ablation, PRP and Toradol

Posted by mabfp3 @mabfp3, Oct 26 4:08pm

Just wondering if anyone has had this procedure done on a knee. I had a knee replacement five years ago and can’t ever put myself through that again. My other knee is bone on bone and is painful. An orthopedic doctor recommended this procedure to me but did say that it sometimes needs to be repeated because the nerves regenerate. Would love to hear from anyone who has had this experience. Thanks very much! MaryAnn from Boston

@kathynv. Following, please come back and post your results. I'm in the same boat and will be having my gnb on 11/22, hoping to try to postpone TKR. Crossing my fingers for you for pain relief.

@toothyk9 Please let me know how it goes. I did have my right knee replaced and it was a very rough surgery. My knee has never been the same. I will do whatever I can to relieve the pain. My dr suggested this procedure and even though it is temporary (I guess that the nerves regenerate), he told me that it can be done again. I have to find out if it is covered by insurance. All of my best wishes to you with the procedure on 11/22.

@mabfp3 PS. My right knee is replaced……it’s the left knee that is now bone on bone.
