Juliek,

The temperature differences are exactly the same as what mine were back in July. That is one thing about this whole dreadful experience that still amazes me.

I am glad to hear that you are able to walk better. As for the soreness, it is my understanding that some people do experience some pain for a few days following the procedure. It may also be an indication that the block did not have any real effect for you. You did gain some functionality though, which is one of the important parts of treating this terrible condition. If I were you, I would keep track of what does and does not improve, such as pain levels and your ability to walk, and bring them up next time you see your doctor. If the pain levels do get too far beyond what you can deal with, call your doctor.
