What kind of blocks should be done to prevent my RSD from spreading into my pelvic area-SGB or LGB. Should the blocks be done prior to the procedure as well as after?

Hi Numb,

That would be Lumber sympathetic blocks as the stellate ganglion blocks affect the upper body.
Although in your case I think that you need a higher block to cover the pudendal nerve so I would be asking your doctor about the possibility of a spinal block or an epidural block.
It is a very confusing time for you, so many things to consider but it comes down eventually as to whether the problem you have that needs surgery is making your RSD/CRPS even harder to deal with.

I am sorry you are faced with this but try and stay positive
Take care
Tayla
