Nerve Blocks : Bupivacaine and Xylocaine .

Hi , few weeks ago i wrote a post about what now and i am happy to say i was able to get enough money to go through private sector to get nerve block in the fall . They want to do Bupivacaine and Xylocaine nerve block injections. I have few questions so i can better prepare .

Questions

2.How bad was the rebound pain when the first numbing wore off?

3.How many days did the flare-up last before it felt better?

4.What helped you the most to survive the first 48 hours?

5.Pros: What was the best part or biggest benefit you got?

6.Would you do it again knowing what you know now?

7.How effective was it at cutting down your daily endo pain?

8.How many weeks or months did the pain relief actually last?
