I'm having my first stellate ganglion block Thursday as my RSD has spread from my legs to my left wrist now as well. I'm a little freaked. I've had 6 lumbar sympathetic blocks, but having one in the neck is a little more nerve wrecking. I will be given anesthesia, though, thankfully. My doctor was even ready to do the first one at my appointment today if I hadn't eaten breakfast- darn!

I've been going to PT for my legs for a very long time and now the past couple months for my wrist as well. But since the PT for my legs isn't as necessary anymore as I have an SCS which is helping with that pain, my doctor mentioned maybe seeing an OT. Has anyone ever seen an OT for RSD in the wrist area? It's my understanding that they work more on functionality and day-to-day tasks, which I am ok with. Sure a lot of stuff might hurt to do, but I can get it done, and my range of motion and strength are decent. Aggressive PT is what really worked for my legs. Would OT be just as aggressive in helping? I'm not sure really where to go at this point.
