performing advanced pain procedures without a fellowship/.

[soxman]

I was wondering if it was possible for an Anesthesiologist with significant regional experience with no pain fellowship could land a part time gig to do kyphoplasties, discograms and even spinal cord stimulators in addition to the standard blocks? This would be neat because this would certainly eliminate the boredom of running a clinic but be focused on procedures.
Thanks

Um, you, uh, don't even have to be a physician to do pain management, bro.

The issue is getting credentialed. Assuming you want to do these at a hospital or ASC you will have to show them that you are safe doing them. If not, no dice. Unless you want to do them in your office. Then you better get liability insurance... if they'll even cover you, that is.
