Dennis, I have suffered from RSD for years. I had the sympathetic blocks done and they worked well until recently when a car wreck thru me back into RSD. I had my first sympathetic block done this week and will continue to have them until I hopefully go back into remission.

The shots are somewhat painful, but if you have a good Pain Management Dr., they do help. The problem is, the longer you are in RSD, or if you have been in it before, the harder it is to get you into remission. So don't delay getting treatment. Hope you get better soon.

I have Type 2. After quite a few blocks that provided minimal relief, we've opted to give the SCS a try. My trial is in two weeks. Can't wait, I'm so very hopeful that it will work.
