He took the first one out but a stump grew back plus another one, possibly two. I just seem to grow these things. About surgery, doc told me that more surgery would make the RSD worse.......move up my leg or elsewhere. So, I am scared. I guess I want some kind of miracle.
Good luck to you, too. I will look up that doctor that you mentioned but if you felt a little "off" about him, that is kind of telling. That first gut feeling usually is right. Thanks again for the info and let's keep in touch.
Hi,
Yes, it is rare to have one in the elbow so it's just has hard to try and find a doctor to get a second opinion. I have a wonderful surgeon who truly saved my arm. He has stated the same thng to me about continous surgeries. It will make the condition worse. I would get the second opinion just for the opinion.

Good Luck.
