Sorry, don't know how I missed this thread!

Kim and Renee, I'm an arm, hand & wrist CRPS patient as well.
I'm not sure I completely understand what was done to you Kim back in June.

My P.M. Dr. is proposing a "suprascapular" nerve block in a couple of weeks.
I guess it's like the one I had done for my original surgery for broken wrist "repair". They completely numbed my entire arm AND put me under general anethesia.

In addition to the RSD/CRPS -
My hand and wrist originally had NO range of motion, now after 9 months and over 60 P.T. visits I can make a partial fist, partial grasp, but still cannot straighten fingers or rotate my wrist.


My P.M. Dr. has already done 13 regular nerve blocks (at 2 wk. intervals).
Now she wants to try this total numbing one and of course I go directly to P.T.

Please tell me if this is similar to what they did to you - I'm very scared.
