(excessively slow) clearance of block

My comment:

Is this a spinal block such as might be used for control of post-op pain, for example after abdominal surgery? The kind a patient can control by pressing a button according to perceived needs? Inserted by an anaesthetist?
This is called "patient-controlled analgesia" (PCA). Please consider my response as a suggestion rather than 100% confidence.
