Some of you are familiar with the treatment I had in Germany last year following a surgery to my RSD limb. I have always called it a continuous peridural nerve block and realize after reading this article that the term "peridural" means the same as peripheral block as described here in this article. I realize now that my terminology was simply a matter of a translation issue. What I had in Germany is the same as described in this article, see the excerpt below.
The fact that these doctors are recognizing pain as a disease in and of itself is a huge step forward for all of us, newly diagnosed or not. I benefited from this procedure in Germany despite all odds being against me for having had RSD for 6 odd years. I think this is very important information for any of us here who have to face surgery.

Hi Msl, thank you for the information, both at the beginning of your post and end. I didn't have any confusion. That must of been scary having surgery after 6 years of RSD. I have had RSD for 13 years now and am fearful of a possible surgery for ruptured disc that happened after my beginning of RSD that was caused after surgery. I think the RSD may be in my neck disc causing terrible headaches.
Anyway, thank you again, loretta
