YIKES!!!

The thought of what you went through scares the crap out of me! I've had sympathetic nerve blocks. WHILE ASLEEP! I.V. meds to knock me out. Under X-Ray to guide the needle. BP cuff, monitors for my heart, etc. and a sterile environment...valium to relax me prior and an hour of recovery time. All left me feeling like I had been hit by a truck. No relief from them. (Doc says that my temperature of the leg and coloring are better). Now, I am a sissy when it comes to needles, so maybe I'm just paranoid (I've blown off appointments because I had to get stuck); but this seems a little barbaric! FIND A NEW DOCTOR! Anyone, please tell me that I'm very wrong...I want to believe that I am just a ninny and that this is acceptable....I just can't! Hope you have a better treatment next time.
