Hi friend's. I had my 7th. or is it my 8th. SGB injection. I'm telling you, I don't want to have these anymore. I hear so many of you saying that the eariler caught, the better! I was in denial for so long, took 5 dr.'s and a wrist specialist to say I had RSD. Ok, I was Diag. in April(I had the carpal tunnal surgery Jan.7) So, 3 months latter, I am dx and yet, I still hurt, had all thses blocks. Yes, I did go into remission for 2 weeks and 3 days.MY rsd DID SPREAD FROM THE WRIST(WHERE I HAD THE ct surgery) to my arm, (entire arm, shoulder neck, right ear.(All on right side)Ok.. now, when I got this last SGB.. they take me in to get the procedure. I get twilight sleep. I wake up, my entire arm is numb, I mean numb, where you can't feel nothing. They had to keep me there for 1 and 1/2 hr. because I couldn't raise my arm even an inch. I finally managed to lift the arm, begged them to let me go home and on the way home, I had the worst pain I have ever felt in a long time! I told my husband, I don't think I am going to have these blocks anymore. I am still hurting and I am wearing the fentanyl patch!! I don't know?? I mean can someone please answer me, by what you mean the sooner caught the better. Vic, you keep saying this too, as well as lot's of other people. What should I do.. keep having these every 6-8 weeks??(SGB) I mean, when some of the blocks wear off, it's like so not worth it?? It's sore, aches, burns more!! Ok.. off the soap box. Anyone care to give their oinion if I should still get these. I have had this RSD for only a year.(Caught very early)I want to get them, and then I don't,SGB injections?? .. Oh, guess I am just confussed here?? Well, hope you all stay warm. it is `16 (chill factor here) Could this be why I am having pain, even after the block/s? TIA friends, Love, as usual, ~Desi
