OMG i am SO GLAD you did NOT do the sympathectomy!! I am appauled that that Dr even SUGGESTED that as a first line of therapy!!
I became desperate enuf and checked into getting that done because of the constant burning leg pain. To me it boiled down to either that or a 12-guage shot to both legs!! Thank God my Dr talked me outta that as well.
That is a definate 'Grande Finale'...there is no turning back once you cut that nerve chain. And in most cases (Per my Dr) pain ends up coming back anyway (as in phantom pain or otherwise).......
Soooooo glad you didn't do that
Thanks for all your great input
