I'm not sure what happened to the rest of my message earlier, I had posted it with my phone.
But I wanted you to know about EMLA cream. It's a numbing cream that can be applied prior to your procedure, cover with plastic wrap. I am told its great for things like IV's. You should ask your doctor before your procedure.

Thanks Anita!!! I will ask about the cream at my block appt. I have to admit the "cold" feelings of RSD don't bother me that bad. Don't get me wrong, I DO NOT enjoy the feeling of having my feet, ankles, and now my hand feel like I am in a meat locker. But I think the worst part for me is the burning, scalding, on fire pain that I have. Man oh man nothing seems to make that feel better. Anyway, thanks for the info about the cream.
