@snowyowl_ecs I am very sorry for the suffering you are going though. Just to clarify, you still show abnormalities on the MRI? You have not healed properly? Have you been able to see another orthopedic surgeon for a second opinion on what can be done? Are they telling you everything looks perfectly healed? I am not trying to talk you out of treating your pain with the nerve block, but I have always been reluctant to dull my pain, because it is my pain that let’s me know something is still wrong. The pain you describe does sound like some sort of secondary nerve pain though. Is it common to actually be blue/purple with RSD? That sounds to me more like some actual physical problem, and not just a nerve misfiring? I am not a doctor, so don’t take my questions as though I am some expert, just going off of my own experience and what little I know about RSD.
Are there any negatives to the nerve block? From what I understand the treatment does not last forever, but if it will quiet down the nerve and give you some relief it doesn’t sound like a bad option. Have you tried medication like Neurotin, or some other nerve dulling med?
