Yes, just on left side. My 1st block was about 11 weeks after surgery.
One was attempted by a different P.M. Dr. about 3 wks. prior and it went
very wrong so I was afraid, but then I found a much better Dr. who uses ultrasound along with x-ray for guidance.

By dramatic I mean the first 3 reduced the swelling and helped the skin color.
I was then able to gain some more movement in P.T. The subsequent
proceedures have helped to keep the pain levels reduced and keep the movement I gained early. However, there's been no more progress since then.
I still cannot make a fist, straighten my fingers all the way, or rotate my wrist. Sounds weird, but I'm happy to at least have some use of my hand.
A yr. ago I would not have imagined "settling" for this.
