Parasternal pain
I consulted all the specialities for the pain that I have in parasternal region due to presence of sternalis muscle.
Recently I consulted thoracic surgeon and he strongly denied for the surgery because the pain might still persist even after surgery.
He referred me to pain management experts.They have suggested me for nerve blocks for the sternalis pain under my breast.
Are there any side effects of nerve blocks ?
