I had to have surgery to correct the trigger of my Rsd. But the blocks helped very much. It was a holding place for me til surgery was performed. I consider myself in remission compared to before surgery. Left with twisting of muscles etc with pain but not constant 3-4 times a day. sometimes all day. and then i will go 2 days without but most of the other horrible pain is quiet.

Thanks for your input! I have had 5 SGB and have been in PT 3x/wk for 10 months and while my shoulder ROM slowly gets better (only 50% of normal), I just wonder where all these SGB go....

My symptoms seem to moving into my feet now, originally in only my right arm and hand from a shoulder surgery gone bad. My PM doc is very worried about all this as am I.

Thanks for sharing your story!

i have had 10 SGB and im a rare case i have a max of 12 hrs of pain relife from SGB or any block for that fact i iwll be goin in for a serise of lower type blocks for my legs that have gotten so bad lately. and well see how that goes. but dubious on the SGB my doc has a technique that he uses that doesnt give you hornerns eye anywhere as bad as i have had. from my orignal doc in chicago. it was great i could leave the office and know that everyone wasnt looking at me

iffy that is alot of blocks and i glad that they are being aggressive i wish i could of had that.. glad you are doin PT/Ot
