Hi there,

I have had a few guanethidine blocks on my arms which did help quite a lot. The first one was done without sedation---please don't let them do it without as the pain is severe when the pump up the cuff to block the supply and then again when they release the blood back into the limb.
The sedation made it a breeze. I have not had the same results from my legs, it has helped for a time but not long enough for my liking but I am a long way down the road compared to you so that could be the reason for that.
I wish you all the very best--it sounds as though you have a good team on your side---that is always a plus.
cheers
Tayla
