I have type II [causalgia] with nerve entrapment,,I was only given 2 blocks,,I did not get the relief that others did,,I was told that if your still in smp the blocks will help,but if you have progressed to SIP then the blocks would aggravate your symptoms,,,either way,, from what your saying about getting relief from the blocks,,the Drs will probually say you are a canadate for a successfull scs,,,,,you;ll get at least a week or more trial,before the inplant , to see how you react,,good luck and may the lord bless you,,,,,,,,,bobber
