I also had an alcohol block sometime in the 1980's. My spasms were so strong they would throw me out of the chair. Ditto the headache, but that was the only downside to the procedure. I've been spasm free since then. You're right about not being able to benefit from a cure, but I have to admit, after being in this chair for 44 years, I don't think I want to gain any sensation below my injection site.

I had a procedure in 1968 called an alcohol block. Prior to the procedure spasms were so bad I was forced to lay in a fetal position. After, my legs relaxed and no more spasms, but if a cure were found today to regenerate the spine there would be not chance of reversing below the injection point. No spasms, but I did get one heck of a hangover.
