hi sand,

my name is jennifer and i'm new here but i was just reading one of your posts regarding the emg you had. actually, your scenario sounds quite a bit like mine and i guess i'm looking for a little advice? i had shoulder surgery also to repair a torn rotator cuff and then a second surgery to remove scar tissue. a year later i am just being diagnosed with rsd. anyway, my pm wants me to have an emg because i've never had one and he wants to rule out nerve entrapment? also i had a stellate ganglion block done almost two weeks ago and it was horrendous. did your pm use fluoroscopy? did your eye droop and become red and did you have warm sensation in arm and hand? sorry for all the questions-but i'm trying to decide whether or not to go somewhere else to be treated. my pm doesn't want to another stellate block, instead he wants to do a cervical sympathetic nerve block. anyway, thanks for your time and i hope to hear back from you.
