TIA
I have had RSD for almost 5 yrs and just had a block done in Feb. I have had really good success with them. They do both sides, as one time they experimented with just doing one side and it was not successful. I think the poll should have included an option for blocks helping for more than 1 month, more than 2 months ect. as mine have helped 3-6 months but because they did not cure me I had to leave that category blank. I can't even tell you how many blocks I have had as I have lost count. Good luck, I wish you the best Marilyn
