My mother recently got a nerve block in the shoulder, it has been about 10-12 hours and her arm is completely paralyzed. She cannot move it at all and feels nothing. Is this a side effect or is it normal. If side effect is it long term, would it be permanent if so?
What would be the reason to do the injection blind in comparison with the ultrasound guided. If the patient is in alot of pain and can't wait to be scheduled for ultrasound? I know it can be very expensive for the ultrasound type, because when I had them, it was outpatient in the hospital. It would be great to have them in the office using the blind injection. Does the Ortho Doctor do these, or just a Pain Management Doctor?
You should be to either side of the notch but not in it... I have zero medical training but I just watched something like 45 videos on this procedure and nearly all of them mention that except for yours... that's how I know. What?... I have to go get it done and I'm curious... and when you can get not just a second opinion, but multiple, with the tap of a screen... why not put them to use.
The recommended location for this injection is underneath the transverse ligament. you can do it anywhere along the notch as long as the flow of medication is under the ligament and you are not in the artery.
