Hi Nancy, I can't say that my swelling and discoloration are gone; they are not. But I can say they are better immediately after stellate blocks. I get one about every 2-3 months when my symptoms degrade. It is then that I will start to get a more pronounced return of the visable swelling and discoloration. The worst was before the blocks, though. It's sort of a blend. Less swelling and discoloration shortly after blocks, worse everything increasingly over the ensuing 2-3 months.

BTW, I think I saw that you are in Santa Monica. I am also in the South Bay!

Take care
