Hi all. I have just been diagnoised with RSD and I am to have my first nerve (ganglion block done this Tues. May 1st.) I am afraid to get this done. the surgery center called and said the Dr. I have will be doing this with no numbing shot, no I.V. just the needle on the side of my neck!! I am terrified!! Anyway, my name is Desi and I am 52 yrs. old and I just want to indroduce myself. I hope this is the right place for a "newbie"?? I had carpal tunnal surgery done Jan. 9th. and this pain never went away. my hand(right) is swollen, cold, very painful and there is also pain in my shoulder(pain is unbearable) please tell me this is going to help?? (the block)??
