Thank you for your responses everyone. The first block went well-they gave me some help (gotta love twilight) and it was much easier then I thought. Immediate temp changes, and relief. Going back on wed for another one. Apparently I am going to have 5 of them over the next couple weeks. What was interesting to me is that now my hand is sore and definitely more in line with the original injury versus this unrelenting pain. Not to say I am pain free-but definitely better! yesterday was a bad day specially since I had to go to work and explain to my boss that I would need time off to have this kinda stuff done quickly-but she was more understanding than I thought.
Everyone thank you for your kind responses, the website was great and I know now I am luckier than I thought. Expect to see me around! Because I have a lot of questions. I will be praying for relief for you all.
