That's what I would think as well. I mean, there is most definitely nerve damage in my face from my zygo fracture and some days are worse than others regarding the pain intensity, but no where NEAR what my left leg feels like!! The face thing was the only possible connection to where Kevscar was going.

Undergoing a block right before surgery can help, Ketamine can be used as part of the anesthesia, and Lidocaine patches can be used around the surgery site during recovery. (I underwent surgery on the limb that was my original RSD/CRPS site without complications and I'm betting newer surgical protocols are even better now.)

They have most recently began performing a minimal and focused surgical procedure for hyerparathyroid that is definitely more appealing. Not sure how well a lido patch on my neck/throat is going to feel...But hey, whatever ends up working. I;m a work in progress, you know!
