Okay, so I might have found a doctor 50 miles from me that does the botox. He is a pain specialist. My arm started going cold and I went to the ER in that city, well the vascular surgeon in the ER told me not to have the surgery. Hey told me he would send some emails and his office would call me Monday morning. Well, the next day he called me with the name of a guy, Dr. Peter Piperis whose website says that he does "scalene block with fluoroscope". I will call first thing Monday morning.

In that case I will probably put off my surgery, for at lest one year, and hopefully indefinitely.
