I developed RSD after TOS surgery in 2000, I think I'm right on the year.

I can tell you right now I think you are doing the right thing with the block. My first one to diagnose it actually helped put the RSD into remission. I had 2 more afterward. Most Drs. want to do a series. I was to have 15 but just had a bad reaction to the 3rd one which is just me. I was so glad I had them. I have had 3 more before other surgeries and it kept the RSD from spreading to those areas.

Since they are doing this quick enough, I'll pray for you that it does for you what mine did for me.

i was hooked up to an IV and then given a mild sedative before the 3 blocks. The only thing I delt with is talking like Donald Duck for a few hours afterward. The third one I can honestly say I think I had a panic attack mixed in with the block and it gave me problems.

Hang in there and I do hope this works for you.
