    I strongly support the proposed LCD restricting coverage for peripheral nerve blocks and ablation procedures used in chronic pain management. These interventions have repeatedly failed to provide consistent, lasting relief and have instead led to new or worsened pain for countless patients, including myself. The risks of nerve injury, complications, and long-term damage far outweigh any short-term benefit. By limiting coverage, CMS would help protect patients from unnecessary procedures, encourage evidence-based, noninvasive alternatives, and promote safer, more responsible pain care.
