Ada,
Thank you for your post, sweetie. Your so "Right on" about Dr.'s being "Knife happy". Look at me, If that ortho surgeon would have tried physical therapy or some otheh methods, I would have NOT have had this RSD,Also, I had 3 ganglion nerve blocks.. two, my ex pain man. Doc. "botched" the 3rd. one was done right. They never helped! Now, I go to a spine specialist for my herniated disk on July 11th.(Took me 21/2 mos. to see him,) hope it will be worth it, as it took 2 mos. to see new hand/ wrist specialist and he sent me to a new pain man. Doc. I just love)If he takls surgery..(The neck, spine specialist)> I'm outta there. LOL thanks again, for this post Adda! makes "one think"! Love ya! Desi :0)(ps. I am going to my sister's son wedding after all, if I am in too much pain tonight(The wedding is tonight)<The reception.
