[QUOTE=Dubious;544086]My last visit with my surgeon who perfromed the surgery which started my whole RSD experience, told me something very interesting last week. I am 15 months out from a horrible shoulder surgery.

He said, "I really don't know what to make of your RSD; I've had several RSD patients over the years and they ALL got better after stellate ganglion blocks."

I was speechless.

Has this been ANYONES experience with their MD? You were fine after stellate blocks? Everyone get better?

I'm curious...
