Hi Phaedra, glad you had a good experience at UVA. I have had multiple Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks for CRPS in leg. I responded well, my leg warmd up almost immediatelt, but I only got a moderate reduction in pain. I have been able to decrease my opiod usage, but I never achieved a remission. In the long run, for me, it was a good idea. Just make sure you fully understand the risks vs. Benefits before consenting to a block. Wishing you wellness ~ Lottie
