What kind of blocks should be done to prevent my RSD from spreading into my pelvic area-SGB or LGB. Should the blocks be done prior to the procedure as well as after?

Tayla & Ada thanks for the info which I've passed on to my husband.
Debbie - did you have blocks prior to your hip replacement? I'm so sorry that your experience has been so painful.
Numb - My husband's doctor is actually recommending a very agressive approach. He recommends that my husband have two or three blocks prior to surgery to help calm his RSD. Then he will go into the hospital one day prior to surgery for iv infusions. He will also stay for two days after the surgery for ketamine and other medication infusions. I hope you have a good doctor that can work with your surgeon. Best wishes to you.
