Surgical Experience 2

A sufferer's report on a nerve block he received to help ease his cluster pain.

"(The nerve block)... is an injection the doctor gives in your head above your ear and back a little. There is a very tender spot on your head that you can find by just pressing. It feels like a little hole. It also relieves the pain on some of my CH when I press on it. You will know when you find it - mine is on the same side as my CH.

I know the injection has lidocaine and other stuff but not sure. It's been 3 years since last one."
