steve6561, When i had my stellate blocks my Dr. told me they do help block the RSD cycle early on but if your RSD has become SIM(sympathetic independent pain) it wont help. That is why it is important to have blocks done early on. I know I had relief but not completely and by my last block i didnt get much relief at all. So just because a block doesnt work doesnt mean you dont have RSD.
You have the right to ask/tell the nurse to wait outside while you see the Dr. and then she can read the chart. A lot of Drs dont want the w/c nurse in there when they are talking to you. They can make the Dr. feel uncomfortable talking with you. If you get an attorney they will tell you dont let them in they can read the chart.
