Hello all,

The color mottling and pain in my right hand is increasing and when I went to my neurosurgeon last week he told me that stellate ganglion nerve blocks can be used as a diagnostic tool for rsd and that my neurologist may try that.

My neurologist sent me to the neurosurgeon sent me to the surgeon to get an opinion on a small cyst thats in my spinal chord.I've already had an MRI with contrast but the surgeon has me getting a closed MRI for even greater resolution tomorrow.

I'm seeing my neurologist tomorrow.He didn't think I had rsd since all I had was the burning pain but now I do have the red mottling color and other times just deep red so he'll be able to see that as well.Just in case he does recommend the stellate ganglion nerve block I would like some opinions of the members of this site,without this site I would be lost.

thank you
