Blocks dont work for everyone. I had my first one just knowing it was going to take away my pain. I had so many side effects & absolutley zero pain relief. And my stupid doctor wanted to do another. I was so afraid of saying no I let him. It was worse the second time. The next time he wanted me to keep doing them week after week for at least 6 more weeks. I was traveling over 250 miles to be tortured by him. I finally said no. He found me a new doctor closer to home. One who didnt believe in blocks for someone who had been diagnosed or who had potentially had RSD as long as I had. He said it was too late. Why were they bothering? If you dont feel comfortable with the treatment or have had dangerous side effects I say dont do it. Its not worth it. I have a wonderful doctor now becuase I stood up for myself finally & said NO! Good luck to you. I hope your okay.
Hugs, Denny

PS Also you deserve pain medication & hes sadistic if hes not giving it to you
