Kheldar, the blocks were still giving me improvement so the doc kept on going at two a week until I wasn't noticing additional benefit. Sorry, to hear about your arm. My hand is still atrophied (not as bad as it was) but I work everyday on trying to use it as much as a normal person would. The docs use the word "amazing" that my hand improved as much as it did. My intention at telling you this is to give you & Yellow hope.

Thanks. I had a total of 6 nerve block shots way back when and had the most (temporary) relief ever, with very very intense therapy right after. Unfortunately I am well beyond that stage now, what with the sympathectomy surgery and now increased symptoms and pain.
Yellow, a piece of advice - don't let them stop at 3 months on therapy either, as most do. I am assuming this therapist knows well about RSD and all, just make sure he/she is willing to work with you as long as it takes!!! And best wishes. |
