Alot of dr;s dont like to do the nerve release sugery anymore ,worried it will make it worse,,in some surgeries,they will afterwards put you foot ,hand ect,,in a boot to keep you from going back to early exercise which causes scar tissue,taking you back to square one,,the problem with the boot is disableing the limb too much will cause rsd to spread or mostly loss of bone density[better said] to set in,,alot of people will get a removable boot to take off a few hrs a day...what im hearing now ,is there aresome dr;s going back to the release surgery practise with new techniques that are very favorable,,,,If I had a choice[ I do not have any insurance now],,,I would elect for the surgery,on the merit fact that my RSD is spreading so fast now,I think it would benifit a person in my perdicament,,,,but someone with a slow progression,,I would not advise it,,,,I have spoken to some who and read where after the release,,the RSD will recede in 2 occasions,,it was full body,,,A lady had a entrapment release in her ankle,and even the RSD in her arms and shoulders receded.....I do not recommend any surgerys unless nesssesary,,,,,but for me in my case,,,I would in a heartbeat,,its spreading agressive anyway,,,,FYI,,,I also heard that theyeven do trigger point injections aorund the entraped nerve to slow it down,,,,,,,,,,I wish you well,all of you,,,,,,,,,,and thanks for your concerns mike,,,WE all need a pat on the head once in a while,,,,,bobber
