Im not sure if the two are corrallated, but i have to have my second nerve block done tomorrow. And i am a nervous wreck, don't think it would be as bad if it was the same doc. But since i have moved i had to start all over. The pain is so great today i cant even rest my foot on the bed, have to keep it elevated. So does stress cause the rsd to be worst? And on a side note i sit up in my bed alot with pillows behind me and today when i sit back it feels like i have a heating pad on my back that is burning me! There is nothing there but pillows! Anyone ever experienced this! My rsd is in my right ankle and i have had that happen there but not in my back.

YES!!! Stress in one of the number one causes of flare-ups with RSD. I get stressed frequently and it causes me intense pain! My RSD started in my right foot and has now spread all the way up my right side. I'm not trying to worry you too much, but if you having burning pain in your back, you may want to ask your doctor to check out if it's spreading or not. If you catch it right away...he may be able to put it into remission. Good Luck and Gentle Hugs

Stress is a big factor on how intense your pain is. The burning could be a couple different things including spread. I get a mix of burning and a sometimes a feeling of running cold water. (like today it felt like ice water running down my right side.) Let's hope that you don't get any additional symptoms.

As far as your block. I to have right ankle rsd. (originally) and my last lsb was a set of 3; 1 week apart and it really helped decrease the pain and my toenails turned back to normal colors.

Thanks for the advice, I sure hope its not spreading, but would it have to be all the way up my right side or can it go from ankle and then back without being all the way up? I hope that makes sense! Thanks for the hugs they are so much appreciated! Wishing everyone pain free hours and days!

I just had my second nerve block done today, and my thigh hurts so bad i cant even lift it 2 inches off the ground and my foot is on fire so bad! Has anyone had this happen to them? The first one i had didn't do this to me, but it also provided no relief!

No, I had thigh numbness not pain. My foot was on fire. Which for me felt good, because it was 10 degrees colder then the rest of the body. That is how they determine if: 1- it is rsd, 2- what type. (I don't remember the type) (brain fart) Call your dr. about the thigh.

I had 1 block in my neck and never had another one. I had a terrible reaction where I couldn't move or turn my neck, it was awful. My cheek and how was swollen and my tongue too. After PT the symptoms calmed down a bit but after 2 mos. I still have some pain in my neck. After this block I felt like my RSD spread to my neck and heightened all my syptoms that were dormant for months. I hope you feel better
