A member asked:
How long does the first lumbar sympathetic block relieve pain for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Highly variable. Must be done under x-ray. Anywhere from no relief (rare) to permanent relief (rare) but the temperature change (should be monitored in both feet continuously). The duration provides your pain specialist with critical information in making a precise diagnosis and recommending further treatment.
