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!
I really hope the nerve block works for you Cheryl and I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and sending you many pain-free hugs!! I am SO glad that your doctor has done the nerve block and hopefully it will help you and give you some much-needed pain relief!!

Like I said in my previous post, please feel free to post in the RSD forum and ask any questions you may/will have ... we are all there for you!

Thinking about you and please keep us updated when you can!!
