A member asked:
Is it possible for a nerve block to help endometriosis?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible: I am aware of specific and limited cases where this has been done with good result, usually cases of abdominal wall endometriosis. In general this technique is not useful for treating pain from pelvic endometriosis.

Unlikely: Endometriosis pain is often deep where most blocks can't reach.
