Kate,
Yes, that sometimes happens. Treatments that the doctors say "always help" do not a thing for us RSDers. I have had a few cortisone injections given by orthopedic physicians that do absolutely nothing. Only the topical anesthetic feels good.
After eight or nine blocks, I would personally agree that it is time to move on to trying something else. Either the doctors are missing the nerves altogether, or it just does not work for you. Why take the time and effort for an end result of nothing?
Hoping for better futures for you,
Mike
