RUReady, my PCP is my RSD Dr. He has been the whole time. He knows what we are doing and will be in to check on me and a phone call away the whole time. He has actually assisted in a couple of my surgeries to see what was going on in me. My surgeon has been seeing me for 3 months so he knows my whole situation and is very up on things too. The last surgery I had, they filled the area full of lidocaine because it was too high up on my neck for a block and it worked.

Jim, this nerve is not causing the RSD pain. It's causing nerve pain. One spot so they pretty much know it's the culprit.

Wendy, I do just that. I have a positive attitude about this surgery. I know I am in good hands.

We'll see.

Thanks for the prayers. Those I will take all you have.

Ada
