I am sorry that I was so vague in the last post. Actually my "supposed not yet diagnosed " RSD is in my right foot. I had 2 surgeries after breaking my fifth metatarsal. My elbow is okay. The docs are still not sure but they are treating me with PT, Lyrica and the lidoderm patches. I had an MRI recently and it showed Stress injury and bruising and swelling in every bone in my foot. I am getting confusing info from the drs because they first said is was probably early RSD but not likely? The last time I was there I asked them some questions and he said well, we probably caught the RSD early but in the next sentence he is saying that he didn't think I had it. WELL Dude... Poop or get off the pot I think next month when I go back and there isn't any improvement they will do a bone density test Etc.

The blocks you are talking about... do yu mean like the regional blocks to numb it for surgery? I had that on the elbow, knee and both foot surgeries. I hate general anesthesia because it makes me so sick. I demand regional blocks when ever possible.
