Question about blocks
 

Hi everyone, im back from my 2nd trip to the pain dr, this was a follow up after the bone scan. I not only got 3 new prescriptions (i feel like a drugstore) but now have a choice to make before i go back in 2 weeks SOOOO i could use any help i can get PLEASEEEEEE... Do i sound like im begging? If so your right... this is what i have to choose from
What would everyone choose? what are the pro's and con's of each block?

Guanethidine Biers Block
or
Stellate Ganglion Block

Hi Sandy,

Just wanted to say that, if I were you, I'd get on Google and start reading as much as you can about them both. Word of advice, when searching, put in a date, like "2006" - you'll need the most recent info you can find.

Obviously it'll be helpful to get reactions from the members here, but you need to know as much factual information as poss, and then apply it to your very particular set of circumstances.

Haven't had either block myself; but I know for sure some people here have had the SGBs, at least. Good luck with them!

all the best :)
