A member asked:

Can a lumbar sympathetic block cause excessive sweating of the feet as a side effect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Feet sweating: Excess sweating of the feet is not a side effect of a lumbar sympathetic block. In fact, it should make you sweat less since sweating is controlled by the nerves that are being blocked.
