For me the blocks didn't work until 2years into and the dr. decided to try and do them every week for 3 weeks. (yes my foot also turned deep red, but it didn't improve the pain until they did the series of one a week)
I also would like to welcome you to neurotalk. This is a great place to be. We are just like an extended family, full of questions and life experiences. Feel free to ask questions or answer them.
Again Welcome.
