Sorry you got worse after your nerve block, how frustrating. When I was diagnosed 23 years ago, I had a lot of stellate ganglion blocks (1-2 per week for many weeks) and they put me in remission for many years. So when I was out of remission and had a new injury and RSD/CRPS was confirmed, I wanted to have the blocks again. It took too long for the diagnosis (1 year) so the blocks did not help this go around I have had many SGB's, cervical and lumbar blocks and thankfully they did not make me worse. I started having bad reactions to the steroids and meds used so I cannot get any more blocks. It is kinda split on here, I have read that many have benefited greatly from them and many have had problems with them. I think a lot depends on the doctor doing them. I had one PM dr give me a series of 6 SGB's on the right side. I never really felt any great relief from them. He used concious sedation. The next PM doctor I went to, did not use sedation and his way of doing them was soooo different and more effective.

Anyway, I sure hope you can get some relief soon!
