Default Will stellate blocks help with spread?

I am sitting in my primary doc's waiting room...

I wrote while ago that I might have carpel tunnel problem in my hand and doc wanted me to try a brace for a month. Well, the month is up and I am very afraid the crps has spread to my hand (up to now, only in my left foot and ankle). I don't have swelling or coldness, but the pain has become more diffuse and deeper down, like my foot. I am also getting some mild sensitivity to touch like my foot.

If it has spread, would stellite ganglion blocks help my hand even if the lumbar blocks became less effective for my foot after the first one or two?

I have accepted that the pain in my foot is permanent, but it this also now true for my hand? Does the theory that you can you get remission if found early also apply to a new site or does it only apply to the first site?

Thanks as always for everyone's support and great information.
