Spinal Blocks For Surgery Posted: 07-26-07 02:23am
Hi,
I had my BTK amputation in August of 97.
My Dr. did a spinal block during the
surgery and told me it would help with
phantom pains. I have only had 1
instance....My daughter gave me the
Chicken Pox and I could not get that ankle
warm. lol of all things. I swear by this
procedure. In an episode of ER I saw a
young boy who had to have an amputation
due to Cancer and the Dr got in trouble by
doing the spinal block. That is the only
other time I have ever heard of it. It
works.
