Hey Deb,
I had the upper SGB's last year from Jan thru May. He does a series of 6 on each side if needed. I had to have it done for both hands & I have faxed in him a new referral from the PM. A different doctor does the blocks. They did help. ALOT!! I am just now, well over the last month or 2 starting to have the tingling & burning start in my hands & forearms again. Anyway, it helped so much that like I said I am going to have them done again. They do one a week. And last time I had to deal with their vacation time off & sick times for me. That is why it took me so long. It would take a total of 12 weeks to have them done on both sides. This is how my doctors do it. Another might do it differently

I would say it halted the progress. I am not waiting for it to become full blown RSD spread before having the SGB's done. It might be too late to help me by then I figure. The LSB's for my feet didn't help much at all. Why I don't know. I do know that I am afraid to have it done on my low back again cause they hurt so bad to have them done the first time around.

Love ya,
DebbyV
