hi ok stupid question here i haven't seen my official pm doc yet. not until june 30. what is the stim thing and the block stuff??? as you can alll see, i don't come close to a med degree...lol. i have a tens unit and i love it but i use it for neck and back pain, not for my rsd because that is in my hands and wrists. i've had rsd since nov of2005. i have heard that you need to get a block within the 1st year or it does not help. i am on many meds amd they help a little like the neuronton but i hate the side effects. if any one can shed some light on this for me, i'd be greatful. thanks, patti
