Hello Everyone....

Well, I had my first block last Friday....Everything seemed to go really well!! I sure didnt care for the numbing feeling I had though! Seriously, it was one of the wierdist feeling I have EVER had in my whole life! I was numb from the waist down for like 7-8 hrs... I had no pain though in the injection sight!! My foot/leg is feeling great! A little pain here and there, but nothing to really speak of to be honest...

The Doc seemed very happy with how things went, so thats good! I see him next Tues for a follow-up appt and to schedule the 2nd block! Fingers crossed that the 2nd one goes as well as the 1st... He is planning on doing 3 of these, he seems very hopeful and positive that the blocks are going to help kick my RSD into remission...

Question though.... Does anyone know how a Dr can really tell if a block works or not? Guess Im just curious to how they go about telling that? If anyone knows and can enlighten me Id appreciate it!

Was my first day back to work today... YAY!! Ive been off since July... Was great to be back!!! VERY tired though when I got home, thats for sure! My foot was acting up a tad bit this afternoon though... But, I suppose that is normal right now... Not used to being on and off my feet so much, and wearing sock and shoes... The last few months Ive taken it easy, and havent worn socks or shoes... So guess it going to take some getting used to!

I hope everyone is doing well! Take care all!

Always,
