Yup that's the whole purpose of it! LOL (Love the emoticon and it is appropriate since I know what it means lololol)

Some docs want to know if there is nerve damage, others figure, rightly so IMO, the rsd is top priority...especially if they can't "fix" the nerve damage. I think if you do have any nerve damage in that spot in your foot, there's most likely nothing that anyone can do to fix it anyway. It doesn't seem as if it ranks up there with say carpal tunnel or something. Surgery isn't anything you'd want to have happen again....especially now....if it wasn't a life or death, absolutely necessary thing.
