Hi Numb,
Blocks.. I have only had lumbar sympathetic blocks, started too late to put me into remission too, they did help to relieve some of the bone crushing cold that was taking over my right leg though.. it was hypothermic cold.. now it is just cold alot, but nothing like before the blocks.

LSB's started at 9 months post RSD, stopped at 12 months.

But wow for a few months after they stopped the blocks my right foot was staying VERY hot, it had caused what another doctor called a virtual sympathectomy from too many blocks, though it didn't last too long and came with it's own set of problems.

Mslday hi,
I have never heard of that (German) treatment for early RSD and I too am in Canada.

They have alot of treatments that I would love to have here.. have you looked at parkcanada's website? they have alot on Dutch/German research and treatments.. I go there and sigh with envy.. I would probibly not be in the shape I am in today if I lived there I think.

I am also very glad it helped prevent spread during your surgery.

be well all,
sandra
