Default sympathetic blocks limit

Hi All,
Is there a limit to the sympathetic blocks? Per case reports of venipuncture CRPS by Hooshang Hooshmand, repetitve ganglion blocks may lead to repetitive damage to the sympathetic ganglion nerve cells, leading to virtual sympathectomy. What did your doc say about the max limit in order to prevent damage? How many are too many? What kind of damage that can/may cause from repetitive sympathetic blocks?
Also, when your doc offer to do the blocks, do you have a series of 3 or 6?
Your feedback are greatly appreciated.
