Dear Mike,

As always you have provided a wealth of important information for us all. I've just arrived in Switzerland and will be sure to read these all more thoroughly once my jet lag wears off.

It was a version of the continuous peripheral nerve block you described that I had in Germany following the hardware removal from my RSD foot. While it did not make me pain free (it was too late in the game for me) I'm certain I would never have made it through that surgery as well as I did without that pain treatment.

I hope this information gets out to more doctors in North America so more new cases can be treated with the same level of success as this young girl experienced

Thank you for sharing your research with us all here.

I'll be sure to pass on any new information I get from my new doctors here.

Your friend

MsL
