I'm not getting any blocks or epidurals at all. Only pain management. It's too late for blocks for me. I'm sympathetically independent now

Thanks for all the advice ladies and gents. As it is TODAY, my thumb is completely numb, but in a really weird way. If I do happen to touch it on something, it does have sensation - and NOT a nice one, either! Shoots pain thru it like you just bit down on aluminum foil! Not sure what this is all about. When it's just sitting there, or I touch it with my finger pad, it's numb. But touch it with anything slightly rough and ZIPPPPP!!!!!!!!!! There I go! Yelling is pain.

Time to desensitize to that type of sensation now I suppose. Sigh....things are always a-changin' I guess...

Hugs
