I would think you should only feel it on the effected side. The blocks are done a little to the side of the spine. Warming should happen pretty quickly and is a sign that they hit the right spot. All people respond to sympathetic blocks with warming.

Sometimes they give a little IV sedation for these but it really depends on your doctor and each individual case. Share your concerns with your doctor's staff when you arrive if you are worried about it.

I am glad to hear you are getting in the pool and keeping that leg moving. That is all good. Please let us know how it goes tomorrow.

Sending hugs and healing love,
