Question:
Can I still tell if I have appendicitis if I've had a nerve block?
I had a nerve block done for pelvic/abdominal pain, and now I can't feel those regions (which is good). However for about a week, I've noticed odd pains in my abdomen. It woke me up last night. It's all over, but it hurts more on the right side. I don't have a lot of money so if possible, I'd rather not go to the hospital, but could this really be appendicitis, and I just can't feel it because of the nerve block?
Answers:
if you've had a nerve block and can feel anything at all down there, you are in serious trouble with something. Like it or not, you need to go to a doctor.
