Default 2nd surgery at site of RSD

I am new to this and would appreciate feedback from folks with knowledge of any medical journal articles and the like that recommend that the anesthesiologist perform a continuous block (before and after the surgery) which is the site of diagnosed RSD. In this case it is a shoulder. The ortho wants to anesesthesize the "frozen" shoulder so that it can be manipulated ("thawed?"). The RSD resulted after the first surgery (rotator cuff repair) -- and due to the RSD the shoulder has not had PT and has become "frozen". I am an attorney (workers compensation) and my client has the RSD.

I thank you. jstanleylaw
