There are people getting better from blocks and equally there are people getting worse from blocks. So it's a 50/50 chance. I'd need better odds, or at least reports on the fact that THAT IS THE treatment for RSD, which it isn't. We're all different and we all react to things differently. We can't start comparing. What worked for one person, might not work for someone else. Blocks being so invasive, I'd not want to recommend them to anyone else on the chance that it might turn out to be a disaster. It's much worse than pills, pills aren't invasive. Calcitonin treatment isn't invasive, neither is bisphosphonate treatment.

I'm surprised there's not more research in the US about Calcitonin or bisphosphonates in the treatment of RSD.
