Jose, I have no idea why. After my TOS surgery, the PT doc wanted to do a block, my my surgeon said in his opinion it was "too soon after surgery" and that area was too sensitive still. He said it would really be too sensitive for quite a long time. In his opinion, for "up to six months." Granted, it was probably swollen for that long, which would make it difficult to find the proper area for the needle to go in, so I woulnd't want the block done then anyway (I've heard horror stories of the needle being put into the wrong place!). After that, though, even my MD, and the pain doc, all said no. That they would do no good "at this point" and that "it's too late." I've had several doctors tell me this.

I'm just doing what I'm told...just like the rest of y'all are...going with the program...which is about all we can do. LOL!
