Hi Gail,
Sorry to hear that you are going through all this. I think that many of us here have been to so many doctors with different opinions. I had 10 stellate ganglion blocks and some of them did work for a few hours. I don't know if they had any lasting effect. The last couple did not give any relief so the doctor suggested stopping them.
I used to wear a glove and still do when I have a major flare up. I have some of the cotton massage-type gloves and they feel good. I quit wearing them all the time so I could desensitize my hand. It also feels good if I soak my hands and legs in epsom salts.
I don't know any doctors in your area, I live in CA. Hope you find one you can trust.
Linmarie
