I've read some older threads on sympathetic nerve blocks, but I couldn't find much from people who've had RDS as long as I have.
I hurt my foot seven years ago, but it wasn't till about a month ago that a doctor finally suggested CRPS/RSD as the root of my pain.
I was scared to try Lyrica, so I'm sitting here with a crazy-numb foot, having just gotten my first sympathetic nerve block (administered in the ankle).
Finally, my question!: What have your experiences been with sympathetic nerve blocks? I'm interested in all responses, but in particular from those with old injuries. Though my foot is in bad shape, the pain's never spread and isn't constant--just when I'm weight-bearing, and I'm usually on crutches only a month or so out of the year.
I appreciate any insight! Thank you.
