Thanks for the feedback!!
Mike, the reports of your tests and procedures are always so detailed and thorough!!! As always, thank you! So you have this done every two years!! With such frequency, and no real catastrophies to report, I feel much calmer about going into this!!!
Also thanks for the link that describes the details....yikes
Up until December 23, I was getting injections directly into the nerves in my foot...the deep and superficial peroneals, the tibial and the sural...these always flared my foot with burning pain for at least 24 hours.... but then gave me more range of motion and ultimately decreased the burn!!
I guess it is the potential for burn flare that scares me!!...and maybe the potential for spread
Did you ever see progress with each of your tests, or did things remain constant for you?

Debby, I find it amazing that neither one of us have ever had this procedure!
I know that a couple of docs were intimidated by the RSD and didn't want to cause me inordinate pain by doing the test! this might be why I am so apprehensive! I, too, had heard that this test in an RSD limb can cause pain flare.. If you have it done at Stanford, good luck with the test and the outcome!

Lisa, I agree that this test can reveal a lot of information that can help with our treatment protocol and the condition of our nerves!! If I can get over the apprehension, I truly look forward to the results and what they''ll reveal.
I expecially want to know if I have entrapped nerves which can cause RSD symptoms!!!
I have to go to work in the morning and then drive myself to the test which is about an hour and fifteen minutes away..I just hope I don't end up with a painful scenario and have to drive back

Another new RSD adventure...wheeeeeee!
