But i have had surgeries before and you always heal eventually. I have had them on my nose and such before which is why this mass is evidently got them worried. But the crps is new and affects us all so differently and so hard and fast its crazy that worries me.. I am only 35 and i want to live my life fully for as long as i can.

Barbara -

For what it's worth, I would imagine that the anesthesiolgists at the Mayo Clinic could handle regional continous anesthesia, or whatever technique is most appropriate for head surguries in the presence of CRPS, as well as anywhere outside of Walter Reed. (No joke.) And for what its worth, I've been advised that the big issue with CRPS is when surgery is performed on the arms and legs.

Still, were I in your shoes, I would be just as careful.
