I think that block is used for diagnosing RSD/CRPS. You may want to search that forum.

yeah that does not make sense at all i do not have rsd as i had a bone scan for that i have thoracic outlet nerve and vascular,and 3 surgeons saying double crush syndrome, even after i have had the rib resection my pulse still disapears just by expanding my chest wtf , now with not even being told what is going on they are sending me for this nerve block really starting to bother me .

It sounds like whatever they removed during surgery wasn't the cause of the pulse loss.
Has there been more testing to try to pin point the vascular compression location?
Have they done a Doppler ?? - I think that is one of the tests that can show the blood flow.

Can you look for another vascular surgeon that has higher skills/experience?
I don't know if I would give the same one another shot at fixing things..
Especially if they won't listen to you.

I don't understand the nerve block either when loss of pulse is the problem...
Do you have pain too?
Oh, never mind, I just went back and saw that you do, maybe they are addressing that first?
