All they will be are numbing agents delivered directly to the effected nerve bundle in hopes of blocking pain signals to the brain.
Good luck...
Let us know how it goes...

Hi Jimbo, thanks for your reply! As far as I know my nerve block will be done under some type of mild sedation? At least that's what the doc said. I am having 4 blocks done in two week intervals. I have had CRPS for about 7 months. I could not get my PCP to listen to me about my bizarre burning foot pain. So here I am at stage 2 and getting my first block. Thanks again for your reply and listening.
