True. But if the blocks don't help... then there you are. That's the downside to it.
I never went to invasive therapies as blocks, for me that was crossing a line but each of us has to decide that personally.
Blocks can be iffy. They're great if they work. IF they work, but if not then it's a mess, and I always heard they might even exacerbate the CRPS. So, I held off on anything that was invasive.
