Hi Cheryl, welcome. I got causalgia, CRPS II or whatever you want to call it after shoulder arthroscopy in April. Same situation though, unrelenting 10+ pain that started the 2nd day post-op. I self-referred to a neuro, got EMG/NCV's which brachial plexus damage, then saw a a pain-doc who started me on stellate blocks the next day. All this happened at the 4-6 week mark. The stellate block certainly knocked the pain down a few notches but PT aggravates it so now I've had 5 blocks. Guess I'll continue as long as they still work. Can't quit the PT yet as it is still helping to retrieve lost shoulder function.
