Sometimes they work, but not for all people. The problems is once they burn the nerve; sometimes it can grow back. Nerves can take from 6 months to a year to regenerate. I have friends who had the procedure and were pain free for awhile, but as some of them; not all, had nerves to grow back, the pain returned and a repeat procedure was suggested. Good luck and hope it works well for you.

I have severe RSD all over my body , started out at my knee and after 8 months, it had spread throughout my body
Had a spinal cord stimulator implanted, 2 weeks later found out this one was defective! After waiting another month, had that one taken out another one put in. It worked ok for about 3 weeks...thats It! They adjusted it, several times but nothing. So please take my advice... stay clear of these things! I understand for some ,they may help but for me...no way! Check it out very closely

True, like i said my dr. Puts me under everytime. No problems, only once he nicked the nerve root and it hurt like hell for a week. But the do releave the symptoms in my shoulder and left arm

Sorry to hear this, my dr. Alway puts me under for cervical injections. Even half under he said i fight and move. Its very dangerious due to all the viens and nerve clusters so what that dr. Did to you was insane. An i very sorry to hear you hadvto indure that. Man , wow!

Your welcome, I hated the Stellate injections. One doctor did it without novocaine and accused me of messing up his technique When I moved while he tried to find the nerve. He doesn't practice pain treatments anylonger.Don't know if you are religious or not, but is it ok for me to pray for you to find relief with your pain? I have a very large prayer chain/group if you wish to be added to that list also?
