Yes: Both blocks can be performed at the same time. However, it is up to the pain management specialist to make recommendations regarding the timing of the two procedures.

Stellate celiac: Anything is possible. But medical common sense dictates that you should not have both at the same time. I certainly would not. I usually would wait one week between the two.

Typically No: The amount of anesthetic needed for both could out you at risk for toxicity which can be a big problem.
