I would think Donahue should be familiar with RSD spreading precautions , but best to ask & make sure..
I don't know how they compare age wise/experience levels.

They are both familiar with CRPS, but Dr. Winograd seemed very knowledgable and started throwing out ideas of how treat me during surgery (ie. indwelling block). He also knows my pain doc so that's helpful if something comes up. With either doc I would still be at the mercy of the hospital's pain team.

Age wise Dr Donahue is older by maybe a decade. They're both fellowship trained and in one of the top hospitals.

My gut says go with Winograd, but then how do I not use Donahue who is one of top TOS surgeons?
