The outsider here, I liked your post. It does seem like Kelly isn't being offered enough other options. What are the other options she has? The more I read about this the more confusing it gets. You are right about one thing that is for sure, it is invasive....it is not minor to have done. I don't want people with RSD to be in terrible pain either like you, Mark so many others. It is just I don't seen enough in the research that shows anything else. Since I am developing some kind of very odd pain, I am also thinking about my future. Ginnie
