Hi again, Roz...yes, I had an interscalene bp block, and it was the ONLY block I've ever had that really helped with pain, even though it was only a few hours. No SGB yet, although the PA mentioned it yesterday, and in some of the research articles I read it seems to be most effective in the early stages, so if Dr. C. wants to do one I'll probably go ahead with it.
I'm not considering any surgery right now, although Dr. Sanders would do it if I asked him. The RSD thing is too scary to me, though...I agree with you!
Ugh! Went and folded some laundry...now my "good day" isn't so good anymore...a little burning around elbow and back of arm...
Hugs to you, too!
