Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Jo, I'm confused enough!! LOL seriously, what is this? oh, you gave me the links. I think you mentioned this after I mentioned those SGB not helping the first time I had them done this May. I have heard from so many people who had these blocks and they said it didn't hepl them. So they may have TOS too?? what does TOS stand for?? Now, I'm worried that I have something else on top of RSD?? what's next?? don't wanna know! LOL I will look at the links ya posted dear and thanks a lot! love~Desi

Wrong dose, wrong medication, wrong administration and wrong diagnosis I believe are the most likely causes and as I am sure your diagnosis isn't wrong I wonder if it is one of the others

Have your blocks been done under the guidance of Image Intensifying or Fluoroscopy?
I am so sorry you have had a negative response to what can be such a wonderful source of relief for some.
Take care

thank you Tayla! My old PMD did nothing at all to tell me what dose, what he was giving me. I asked the nurse who was with him, when he walked out of the room for a sec. she said it was lidocaine. He never used the fluroscopy. my new pmd is great. I seen him today,for the first time. he is going to ask the dr. who did those 3 SGB In May of this yr. what he used. Hi is a wonderful PMD and very, very kind. He upped my pain meds. is on call at all times. I really think the old PMD may have missed the area where the medication go's. I mean he used NO FLUROSCOPY on all three of them. My new PMD wants me to get the blocks done by him and he does use fluroscopy.He also said he will sedate me, which the other PMD did not do! I never was treated so good like this by any PMD. Thanks for replying back, Tayla. I did reply back to you, but don't know what happened to my first reply?? weird!! LOL Love ya and thanks again~Desi
