Just finished a series of two yesterday. Total? maybe #20 or so....maybe more. My CRPS is type II and seems to be sympathetically mediated so still responds very favorably, for several months anyway, to SGB's. Still, each block and outcome is like watching "Groundhog Day." I am curious, why do you think you had a 7 year remission and then all hell broke lose again? I am at 4 1/2 years post-onset/injury.
