Welcome to NT. This is a great place for info and support. Sorry you are dealing with this! I am glad you didn't listen to that dr and use ice! You are right, advising you to use ice proves that he knows nothing about RSD/CRPS. Ice is the worst thing for RSD/CRPS. My advice it to find a new dr right away!! Wonder if this dr, since he is so ignorant about RSD/CRPS, did the stellate ganglion block correctly. They definitely have to be placed in the perfect spot. I had two PM drs do them completely different from one another. I definitely benefited from them in the beginning.
