Hey there - It's been a while now but from what I remember they worked pretty well and relieved him enough to tolerate therapy - For some reason they had to stop - Insurance? or Something new they were trying? I know shortly after that he went to Mayo for their pain managment/clinic....so that might have been why too.


They just started new nerve blocks (for the RSD in his arm) and that lasted 3 days althought the first day was rough - he could not use his arms but he had pain relief for 3 days and they were able to exercise him in PT quite well during that time. They SAY that the next block should last longer? Guess we'll see......
