Members shared mixed experiences with nerve blocks for CRPS and other chronic pain conditions, with some finding significant relief while others experienced limited benefit or unusual complications. Several members described the procedure itself as relatively painless due to numbing medication and sedation, though one member noted an atypical severe pain reaction afterward, and outcomes varied widely from immediate improvement in mobility to no lasting effect. A recurring theme was that nerve blocks can provide temporary relief lasting weeks to months for some people, but results are highly individual, and members encouraged staying informed and advocating for yourself throughout the process.

I had two weeks of nerve blocks following a car accident. Prior to the nerve blocks I couldn't turn my head from side to side. Fortunately, the nerve blocks worked and they didn't hurt a but.
good luck.

i had a lumbar nerve block last september (1st and only!). i woke up with the most excruciating lower back pain and it hasn't gone away. from what i've been able to find out, my reaction was unusual. for the actual procedure, i was thoroughly numbed (couldn't feel anything). between the numbing medication and the valium, i felt no pain...well, until i woke up. but again, from my research, my reaction was not the norm.
