I started my series of 3 stellate ganglion blocks today. I arrived at the pain clinic at 6am and the block was done by 6:30. It went well the doctor was very good at it; it was quick and just some uncomfortable pressure. It was a successful block my eye became droopy, my nose stuffy and my arm warm. Initially the pain had diminished quite a bit but I have to say it only lasted maybe 5 hours. Now the sensitivity is much worse than before.
When they initially did the diagnostic block it lasted 22 hours but today it only lasted about 5 hours. He had me go to physical therapy to get a good session in as well as desensitization done.
So now I can only hope that next Fridays block last longer...
Well, I'm exhausted So I think I am going to try and get some sleep ..
Many Hugs
