Default Perhaps foraminal? I get those because of my bad back
I may be wrong. I think it has something to do with the spine.

Bier blocks are routinely done in surgery, but I've read that the increase in RSD developing after surgery has been questioned if the two were linked. I should hunt that up...

I'd verify what you're getting, how they perform it, and what meds will be used. Then research it!

A sympathetic block done properly is a very good idea before surgery!!!

Sympathetic blocks are to the spine.
