Has anyone had this procedure done? The surgery is performed for different reasons, but for me I want it to "destroy the nerves in my mid back". It's not a major procedure...maybe even an outpatient. And how do I convince WC!

I've never had one, but a nerve block would tell you if you're even a candidate. (As a temporary, chemical sympathectomy, to see if there's any relief) I know some ladies that have had them, BE VERY CAREFUL.
I didn't think that they still did this....
It can be 'barbaric' from what I've heard,
Causing more problems than relief.
Good Luck!
