I had 3 of the SGB"S. Some say they were awake when they had them. I was put under for them. When I woke up, I had the droopy eye and sounded like Donald Duck. They did help me though.

The 3rd one I had, I had a bad reaction but I believe it was due to a panic attack I had about having it. I had trouble breathing after it but it didn't last that long.

My brother use to talk like Donald Duck and I use to try to and that made me think of him and laugh when I came out sounding like that.

I had an Anesteologist that did my blocks and I trust them more the PM Drs. but that's me. They work in the hospitals and know how to administer the meds therefore I feel they have more experience at doing the blocks.

The main thing is that it might help put your RSD into remission. I hope that's the case for you.
