Hurt likes h**l for him to touch my foot and have the patches on my foot, but after about an hour the pain seems to be better. Has this helped anyone. Thanks. Have a nice day.

for me the blocks did help but for only a couple days and i only got any where from 40-60% relief the doc said then that was a success. as for the patches i use them and they work great, i have rsd in my foot and it would hurt so bad to remove it that i cant wear them on my foot but i do use them for my neck and back. good luck on your block... take care michelle
