A well know surgeon did the nerve blocks. I was referred to him for a second opinion since the first surgeons surgery is what caused the EP. It had no effects except for several hours. I was not supposed to drive or work for 4 hours after the injection. It wasn't any thing bad at all. Only a slight stick when the doc puhed the needle into my torso/leg area.

I have used the patches for approx 6 weeks continually. Usually two a night on my feet and one or two on my scrotum. They no longer turn colors and are not gooey anymore. All I know is they really help me, but it could be that my problem was caused by trauma. After 14 months a lot of swelling around my groin is going away. I thought it was fat from not exercising like I used too. Two physicians kept saying it was inflammation.
