Hi Anne..thank you for your response. He is having my PM dr. Do a sympaththetic nerve block. If it is successful, then he would want to do the sympathectamy along with the rib resection. Please note...I said he would want to. I usually ask as many questions as possible, but had a lyrica moment while I was there and forgot to ask him if this was something he would have done to himself if the tables were turned.
Cheers
Jay
