My had and arm are now cold in between nerve blocks. I go for one every 2-3 weeks. I'm trying now to go every 3 weeks just because I don't like getting them and I want to see what happens if I go longer.
Well, the last few times my RSD/CRPS arm is about 10 degrees colder than other arm. (I'm not exagerating). They measure the temps. right before the IV goes in. Just a couple of times I've gone just one week apart and temp. difference was only a couple of degrees.
I had rsd/CRPS for 3months before I started getting the nerve blocks so I don't know if the "cold" was always the case. My hand was greatly swollen before the nerve blocks as well.
