What can you tell me about rsd? what do nerve blocks have to do with it?

RSD is complicated: according to most drs.The pain, is traditionally considered multifactorial & sustained by an overactive sympathetic nervous system.Nerve blocks try to stop the symp. overactivity.New, controversial thought is the pain is maintained due to peripheral nerve inflamm. by tiny nervi nervorum.Some pts. receive more benefit with Vit D, Prologel creams, B12 supplementation followed by neuroprolotherapy.
