Had 2 female anesthesiologists hit me up about trying the nerve block as they were wheeling me into surgery, like a dumb fug I said sure, I also suffered phrenic nerve paralysis, it usually affects opposite side diaphragm of the shoulder which is getting worked on.
Left shoulder had the surgery, right diaphragm suffered paralysis, the bottom third of my lung is" like a dishrag " in the words of a pulmonologist. Didn't know, what I didn't know about that particular nerve block.
Yep I had right shoulder done , left side of diaphragm went.
They don't tell you about all the risk of these surgeries which is one reason I won't have another back surgery ,knee replacement, or stomach tied up to relieve reflux
