Stellate Ganglion Blocks for Full Body CRPS RSD? Efficacy?
Hi.
I have had full body CRPS RSD for 23 days and 79 days since likely onset of RSD. My doctor at the moment Moskowitz Michael, MD suggested Stellate Ganglion Blocks and seemed very confident in them although Dr. Robert A. Savala, MD who did the injection said that if I didn't feel much or any change from the first injection he can't suggest more. However I am not sure of his experience with RSD CRPS. My reading on the subject seems to indicate that people who have it in one limb at my stage - 30% or 40% may have relief?
I have pain at the injection site and it has traveled a little and gotten worse with the days. The injection was done last Wednesday and it is Sunday now.
Should I get another injection Monday or skip it and head down to LA to see Joshua Philip Prager MD MS? I have an appointment Wednesday but maybe he could see me Monday.....
