I get them periodically because I think they have helped in respesct to spreading. I have the upper ones about once a year when my hands start to burn & go numb. It puts it on hold for several months. I am trying the lower blocks again to see if they too will stop the spread up my legs.

This started for me in 2003 in both feet simultaniously (sp?). Was Dx'ed in 2004 finally. Had the lower blocks & they didn't help much at all as far as with the pain, but I do believe as my PM Doc does also, that it stopped the spread up my legs & it also stopped alot of the color changes, temp changes from going over the edge. Also the swelling isn't as bad as I have seen others deal with in their feet.

I am not WC, & that is why I was able to get the blocks done aggressively once I was Dx'ed.
