I do understand. A lot of us here understand. I do know what it's like to suffer for a long time before getting some pain relief. I find this hard, because they don't even let an animal suffer. It shouldn't be this way for humans either.

One thing my dr. said when he did my nerve block was that it would tell him if the CRPS was sympathetic or not. Mine responded (he checked temps of my feet before and after procedure) so we knew we had a yes for that.

I'm surprised you were told to ice, as my understanding is that ice is not a good idea for CRPS? Or is it the injection site you are icing?

Prior to crps diagnosis, my podiatrist told me to ice. Big mistake I Know!
I am glad you responded to your sympathetic block. Do you plan to get more of them or did your doctor use it as a diagnostic tool?
