Default Lumbar sympathetic block?

I know this is best to have done within the first 6 months. I though have had rsd and pn for 2 years and am getting my first one done tomorrow. Last week the iv lidocaine did nothing so now the block. I am behind in my invasive treatments because I have been thrown so may different options that were bigger like the spinal cord stimulator or catheter and was fearful but this new pain doc is working slower with me. I am hoping that the block will help so I can do another and start PT again. Can you tell me what it is going to be like the procedure,recovery,and outcomes people have experienced?It seems like these last if at all a very short time. My problem are is inner ankle/foot/calf of left the worst and right now as well. I just got my meds upped too so I am hoping some combo treatment will help. Thanks
