Hi Jennijojo,

I am just in from a late flight so will keep it short.

IVRSB - IV regional sympathetic blockade is stated in the new revision of the Dutch Protocol for CRPS treatment as "having no place in the treatment of CRPS 1"

I don't recall seeing it really mentioned anywhere as a treatment of choice, some of the studies indicate no benefit. It sounds horribly unpleasant.

Bier developed this type of anesthesia in 1908. I am hoping we made some progress since then. There's ketamine to try or Calmare or the neridronate trial. Stanford just started a trial on LDN. You aren't out of options.

IMHO, it may be time to consider other doctors if the ones you have can't come up with anything better than this and telling you there's no point in imaging. Even if all it does is put your mind at ease over your diagnosis I think that has value. Stick to your guns girl, it ain't over yet!
