Hi Kate,
I've had six without sedation.. Try and go in in a relaxed state...they played some music for me during my blocks..that was helpful!! Maybe you can bring some of your own soothing music that you like if they will allow that!! My lumbar blocks took about 20 minutes to half an hour..before you know it, it's done! Let us know how it goes!! Take good care! I'll be thinkin' 'bout ya!! Hope4thebest (((((( hugs)))))) |

I have had 7 blocks since my CRPS DX last June 08. They always help me, for 2 or 3 months anyway! Hopefully your issues are ones of SMP that will respond to the blocks favorably. I do have a complication from the last one that is unrelated to CRPS. Prayers and best of luck to you! |

I really hope you find something that gives you some relief. I totally agree with the others on here who have said "why keep doing them if they aren't working?". My RSD didn't spread until after my second nerve block. Within days of the effects wearing off, it spread up my leg and into my knee. My doc said he doesn't do more than a two or three if they aren't working. He said some doctors will do 20 or 30 of them, and there is NO reason for them if the first few didn't have the desired effect. Talk to your doctor and tell him/her your concerns about continuing the blocks. Good luck.
