Default Stellate Ganglion Block

I have RSD, and recently got a new flare in a new area - my shoulders. The result has been VERY LITTLE use of my arms, and almost no progress with physical therapy over the past 2 & 1/2 months. My RSD doc wants me to have a Stellate Ganglion Block, which I've never had. I did some reading, and have noted that most people have a series of blocks. I'm just trying to avoid invasive procedures as much as possible, partially due to our crummy insurance with the $5,000.00 deductible. Anyway, I'm going to go for my first MJ doctor appointment tomorrow, and to the dispensary afterwords to get my first hemp products. I'm hoping these will be effective enough to be able to avoid the blocks. Can anyone give me feedback on the blocks, and/or how medical marijuana has been helpful?
Thanks,
Gigi
