Hey

I have had several nerve blocks, none of which have been succesful pain wise.

Stella Ganglion one in my neck to block both my arms --> increased temperature of my arms and a pinkness to replace the blackness but that was it - almost no pain relief.

Lumbar Sympathetic blocks: had 4 of these and 1st one led to my RSD developing in my left leg, second temporarily paralysed me, third REALLY hurt and fourth REALLY hurt (by then had RSD back as well).l

But many people I know have had brilliant success with them - so it is really dependent on the individual.

Take Care

Frogga xxxxx
