I had very good luck with my blocks. I had 3 Stellete Gangleon blocks and they helped put my RSD into remission. Now I have a block before any surgery I have if it is possible and the blocks have helped the RSD to come back out or spread in those areas.

As far as steroids, are you on them for good or is it just a temporary thing. My husband was on them for just awhile. I was told you are not suppose to be left on them for a long length of time. He couldn't handle them either.

Do try the blocks. I think it's important to see if they will work for you and it takes a series not just one or two.

Good luck,
Ada
