Hi. I had a pinched nerve that was able to be released with chiropractic care. But now I have a trapped nerve in my foot…with total body CRPS/RSD…
So where it is makes a difference. Most surgeries will make the RSD worse as it will affect the nerves that are already being given wrong messages from your brain from the sympathetic system, and yes, it can cause dystrophy. So surgery is generally not a good idea, unless it is life saving…. I hope this helps.
