Answers:
I had one when I had my shoulder surgery in April and they are wonderful! They do it right before you get taken back for surgery and they give you some medicine to relax before they start!. When I woke up in recovery, I had no pain and was like that until about 9 PM that night!. It allowed me to get home and get some rest before the pain kicked in, because after that, I did not sleep very well for several days!. Make sure when you get home that you take you pain medicine as soon as you start to feel the numbness wear off!. If you wait too long, the medication will not be as effective and you will be in even more pain than you want to know!. Good luck!. Get the nerve block!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had one when i had my greater trochanter shortened!. The benefits are being VERY comfortable pain wise after surgery!. I had the same surgery (on each trochanter) one with the block, one without!. Looking back i have no idea how i did it without the block! I could move much more the second time round (with the block) which aided my physio!. It isn't a miracle "oh my gosh no pain!" but its great to say the least!. I had no trouble using the bed pan, unlike when i had the surgery without the block, i couldn't move without crying!. It was agony!. The second day was pretty rough, but by the 3rd day i was fine!. The block the first day, is helpful to say the least!.

Go for the block they work wonders for pain!. I also had an IV morphine pump for my pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
