A member asked:
Can lumbar sympathetic blocks help someone who constantly has very cold feet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold feet: Sympathetic blocks will help determine if more definitive treatment can be offered like Neuromodulation. Sympathetic blocks are not therapeutic if its just cold legs alone. also you would not want to have numerous sympathetic blocks they they can cause more problems if too many are done.
