The Pain Management doc called me this morning. He wanted to do a nerve block of the sympathetic nerve plexus that is affecting my shoulder. I agreed. He referred to what I am experiencing as "causalgia." When I went into the Surgicenter he explained it more and is treating me as if it's RSD/CRPS/causalgia.
It's unknown cause, but basically right now he is treating the pain. He said he was going to inject the sympathetic nerve plexus in my neck with an anesthetic and steroid to block the pain that is going to my shoulder area. We shall see. Sally...Versed. Better than percocet!
