Yup - after the first couple of blocks they stopped working. But I kept getting them anyway. I had a total of 8 SGB. And one LB because it spread to my leg. And I wouldn't be surprised if that is why my RSD spread....??? If you don't feel right about it, don't do it. Stick to your guns. Only you know how you feel.

the best of luck to you. XOXOX Sandy

Now, my new pain specialist wants me to do another block and I don't see what the point is.
Has anyone had a similar experience with nerve blocks?
