Only my first few SGB gave me relief. I had a total of 8 of them, my PM doc was really skilled. He hit the right spot but my body didn't respond, just like yours. But I was much later into RSD than you seem to be (if your diagnosis is correct), probably by a year or more.

Are you sure you have RSD? Usually its a diagnosis of last resort...when they can't find anything else wrong.

Good luck. Sandy

My pain started when I had surgery on both arms on December 23, 2010 and I have wounds from elbow to under armpit. Pain only occurs in about 1/3 of the wound on each arm...not the whole scar.

So, this means the pain isn't sympathetic nerve related. Is there any point in having a second one, if this one showed absolutely no relief right after the injection?
