Hi Steve,

Check with your local RSD support group. They will have memebers that can tell the results. Call the MD Assc and ask about RSD and they'll tell you where to find your local RSD support group.
In our group, it seams to relieve temperory pain. Becareful on who you get to give it to you if you decide to go that way.

Current treatments are going away from nerve blocks. Some doctors are finding that blocks are not as helpful as they had been in treating RSD pain.
