Gymjunkie,

I've had one SGB and even though I was partially sedated it was horribly painful. The needle was injected through the exact middle of my neck until it reached my cervical spine at C6, piercing my esaphagus, windpipe, and whatever else was in its path. I was unable to eat or drink for many hours afterwards because my throat kept spasming. I am not looking forward to my 2nd vlock, which is scheduled for tomorrow.

When you say that your SNB was not successful yet rendered a positive diagnosis of RSD, what do you mean? I thought the terms "unsuccessful" and "positive dx of RSD" could not be mutually exclusive.

thanks for your explanation - I am still learning - Sandy
