Very sorry to hear that your mini vacation was not very relaxing...I know how much we need those breaks sometimes but unfortunately our bodies do not always cooperate. And I totally understand what you are going through with work comp and not knowing which things are related to the CRPS and which things aren't. All my things right now started after I got a block so they may be related...but maybe not. Until we know what it is, how do I know if it was caused by the blocks? If it's stress because of the pain I have been in...well then it's related. But how do I know? Right now work comp is not paying anything except a few of the medications because my case is going through the appeal process. Even though they are not appealing the medical, they decided they are just not going to do anything until it's finished in court. Well thanks a lot guys...still needing medical care over here. But whatever. I have insurance and they are paying me while I am off work with a note. As long as I have income, I can pay for the medical now with my insurance and get reimbursed later.

Sorry...I went way off track there. But know you are not alone with this stuff. As for the PT...I went to PT the next day after the block and continued a 3-day a week PT schedule. It was rough...but if you can push through it then it is totally worth it. You will be able to get a good chunck of your life back. I really hope that the block helps you and that you are able to do this.
