[numb]

Hi All,
I don't come to the site on a regular basis in large part due to inability to sit at any length w/o pain. I have developed RSD in my upper limbs and then spread to lower limbs from an IV injury in 2007. It's been almost 8 years. Although I don't have full remission, my RSD pains are pretty well controlled with 225 mg of lyrica daily. My pain level is ranging from 1 to 2 on the scale of 10. However, I have developed pain flares (big or small) usually after a trauma such as a minor procedure, IV, and or needle sticks and a sudden push from behind. I have had a series (usually 3 to 4 ) of SGB and or LSB to calm my nerves and followed with a series of hyperbaric therapy to bring my pain back to the baseline. I had so far at least 8 or 9 bilateral SGB/LSB over the years. Now, I am scheduled to have a series of 3 SGB to calm my RSD pain in my hands resulted from IV/needle sticks a couple of weeks ago. While my pain is only about a 4 out of 10, I am afraid it will get worse w/o treatment. My questions: Is it worth to have the blocks done since my pain is not too bad? Is there a max limit on the blocks? I read something in Dr. Hooshmand's article there is a limit. After 6 or more blocks, there are damages to the sympathetic nerves. Right or wrong? Can someone commend about this especially you have more than a dozen already? Any good prevention strategies, besides avoiding surgeries, procedures, etc.
I will appreciate your feedback. Take care and thanks.
