I have had 4 blocks...the first three were with some kind of meds that made me loopy, didn't hurt at all. My 4th block was done by Dr. Joshua Prager and he doesn't believe in any anesthetic for Stellate Ganglion Blocks, so done under fluoroscopy, I had a block by him, and it was fine, it pinched for like a second. It was a better block than the ones done under anesthetic too. Getting the IV was the most painful part of any of them.
