Hi Brandon,

Feeling any better?
On surgery, Put it off as long as you can and get your current CRPS symptoms and foot issues more under control. Don't want to throw your nervous system totally over the edge. That said there are things that you can do to minimize risk of spread, Vit C 500mg daily, ketamine during anesthesia, a regional or epidural block, and 900 mg neurontin pre-op has just come out as a new recommendation to reduce the incidence of chronic pain after surgery. And this one is really important, a surgeon who is willing to take a little extra time watching out for major nerves and to make a point of protecting small cutaneous nerves during your procedure. They can work around the small ones and mark them sometimes so they don't forget they are there, cutting through those is a bad idea. When the time comes, post again or check old posts, there was one just recently.
