Well, so much for the block helping for pain...started having the burning on fire pain again yesterday afternoon. So the block worked for approx. 1 and a half days. But I gotta say, that day and a half was fantastic! (right foot only). I need to ask, do these blocks build up in your system?? Meaning, after block #4 in 4 weeks from now will it have a better effect for longer because I have had so many of them?? Karen

Blocks are often used as a diagnostic tool, as well. Relief, even for a short period, confirms RSD is the correct diagnosis.
The skill of the doc perfeorming the block can make a big difference as well. I had some done by the local pain mill doc, and others by a former spine surgeon, turned pain doc. The second were harder on me (I was awake and my reactions helped him pinpoint the area) but vastly superior. The pain mill doc's were more hit or miss, where as the spine doc's blocks all lasted 2+weeks. Just make sure you're getting the best RSD care available in your area. |

My blocks turned my foot bright red has also. It felt good because my foot is always ice cold. Until the last week. Now I'm back to a mix. Glad you got through it. |
