Used to be,

I had a radio frequency sympathectomy about 5 or 6 years ago and the only thing it did for me besides cause extreme pain during the procedure was decrease the edema in my right leg. IMHO, If I were you I would think long and hard before I had this procedure done, if at all.

Ada, hope you are felling better.

Nikmcjo, The type of sympathectomy I had did not remove the nerve, just burned it apart. Actually even though they contain a portion of the word ectomy, meaning removal, the nerve is either cut or burned any of the procedures. Also I have had numerous blocks since my RFS.

Joan, I wouldn't suggest anyone have any of these procedures done.

Hope I gave you something to think about.

God Bless
