Karen,

my nerve blocks were done with a little sedation in the lumbar. They hurt just a little but mostly it was pressure. (heavy pushing feeling).
Depending on how long you have had RSD will depend on your success. Mine only lasted 7-10 days.

Welcome, I am fairly new here myself and just so glad to find I am not alone. Everyone has been great and full of information. It is not always what you want to hear but what you need to hear. (THE TRUTH)
