- Increased redness at the site of injection or catheter access
- If you received a nerve block and numbness and/or weakness of the involved extremity persists for more than 24 hours
- Increasing pain that is not relieved with pain medication
- Increased swelling and/or tingling at site of treatment that does not respond to routine post-procedure care (see below)
- Skin breakdown, blister, skin with blackened areas, or decreased ability to move the treated limb
You will receive a call from us at 1 week and 1 month after your procedure to see how you are doing.
