Ortho wants to do another surgery to fix the mess created by the first. Says pre and post-surgery blocks will not allow spread or flaring of CRPS. Can anyone tell me their experience of what a second surgery did to them?

I never had my first surgery for my two shoulder injuries. When I went to the clinic, I met a man who had seven surgeries and was made worse after each one. I asked him why he kept having more surgery after they got worse, he said workers compensation kept claiming he could go back to work after another surgery and if he didn't have it, it meant he was refusing treatment and the would not pay him.
