Genicular nerve block
Hi All,
New here so wanted to say hello 👋 I’m 45, have arthritis in both knees and have just had a genicular nerve block. Consultant is trying to stave off full knee replacements so has started with that and will look at whether he will blast the nerves away permanently in the next couple of weeks.. 😬 Has anybody else had this treatment?
Thanks

Hi @Lin10 welcome to the Online Community
I had to look up the term "genicular nerve block" to find more information, such as this leaflet from the NHS.
We have good information on osteoarthritis in the knee and you may find it helpful:
Members have had experience of denervation of various joints, such as wrist and facet joint denervation. I couldn't immediately find anything regarding the knee and I look forward to reading any replies.
Do join in across the Community and do come and tell us how you get on. You will be most welcome.
All best wishes
Brynmor
