Diagnosed with median arcuate ligament syndrome by angiograpgy. md ordered celiac plexus block as next step for "abd pain of unknown cause".common?

Absolutely not! Why?: Pain=built in warning of threats. If Dx: "median arcuate ligament syndrome" =correct, the symptoms are likely due to compression of arterial blood flow to your intestines, called intestinal ischemia. Simply blocking perception of pain, even if successful, could end up fatal. Study: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_arcuate_ligament_syndrome" & consider laparoscopic surgery to stop compression.
