Wildberry,

I had almost the exact same thing happen to me after my last block, however I didn't have any swelling. I had pain relief for about 3 hours then the pain hit with a vengence, I couldn't sit or lay I could only stand or walk I finally went to the ER around 8pm and was seen around 11pm. At this point I had been walking almost nonstop for 6 hours. The ER Doc took one look at me and said you are in alot of pain huh? I was told by the ER Doc that my PM Doc had hit a nerve I was given 2 injections about 10 minutes apart, the first was Dilaudid the second was another pain med not quite as strong, but as usual for this darn RSD I can't remember the name of the second drug.

I agree that with the swelling it seems you may have had both an allergic reaction and your doc hit a nerve.

I suggest you call your PM Doc ASAP and get him or her to see you and let them figure out why you are swollen and still in so much pain. I agree with Tayla it is hard to DX over the computer. You need to be seen!!!!!!

Let us know how you make out.
