Is A Genitofemoral Nerve Block Effective In The Treatment Of Testicle Pain?
A doctor has recommended a genitofemoral nerve block as a possible solution to my chronic testicle pain. I am currently taking Gabapentin, 300 mg) at bedtime as that is when the pain is present. I am wondering how long the nerve block would last and how it feels?

Hello,
Yes, it is the best solutions for your testicle pain but I think you will need to show follow for few weeks after the block.
Usually, the block will be effective for weeks to months depending on the agent used to block the nerve. You can go to pain clinic. Anesthesiologists are the best trained in this area to give you the best block.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
