Hi Ya Tayla! Your post just made so much sense here!! I for one started getting the Stellate ganglion blocks in the early part of October. My new pain management Doc. who did the one was just so helpful!! The other three done by another PMD did them all wrong. Anyway, when I had the SGB on Oct. the 4th. I was feeling so good for 5 days!! I believe these blocks along with PT is the answer. sure, my RSD flared for a bit, but I was on medication(Pain) to help along with the physical therapy) So, all in all it makes so much sense to go have the block, take your pain meds and get up off that recliner, couch chair and whatever and get those muscles moving, get those limbs moving. I was having a pain free day that turned into 4 more since the SGB Now, I go back into the office, get an I.V. with medication to put me to sleep, have the block, go home, rest, take the pain meds, do some PT and I am doing alright. My next block is Oct. 25th. and I am hoping that this block will help even more than the first. I complained that PT was hurting, flaring my RSD when all all along, Now please keep in mind, that this is me.. I am not talking about anyone else here, but for me, It all is working out towards the good. My PMD is trying to but this beast in the far off back corner by hopefully putting it into remission by blocks, medication and phycical therapy! Now I know what it "FINALLY" means that the eariler caught, the better your out come. I just didn't want to hear anything from no other pain management dr.'s in the beginning. So, here I am going to have my second SGB and I am atually looking forward to having this, meds and PT to help. I believe all three go hand in hand!!
So, as for me.. this is the way I am going!! much love~ Desi
