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.

46 years post SCI and no spasms. 

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.
