A member asked:
For mild to moderate (pain varies) crps of leg, approximately how many lumbar sympathetic blocks? one? three?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CPRS: Typically if 1 does not provide any response then a lot of doctors will stop there. Some doctors may try a 2nd to completely rule out any benefit. I would not go for 3 if the 1st 2 fail.
