Acute CRPS treatment and surgery timing

Patient with hand injury requiring surgery. On initial eval, exam/appearance of hand was straightforward. On day of surgery, hand had RSD-type picture. Surgery delayed. Has had symptoms for 72 hours. I honestly have never seen someone this early on. Is SGB indicated this early on? High dose steroids? Dosing of bisphosphinates? I’ve read that surgery should be delayed at least 12 months… what are your thoughts? Thanks.
