But you should really research this nerve deal. Learn everything you can, and ask the doctor about pros and cons.

One thing I was told by my doctor is that this procedure does not make an end to the pain. Can possibly cause spread, and can surely grow back over time bring the pain back, and possibly worse pain. Plus can cause other side effects you might not like.

I know the pain is overwhelming at times, but believe me some of the procedures cause more problems then they are worth. Sometimes the best thing we can do is grin and bear it. I know this is not what you want to hear, but it is better than irritating the RSD and making it worse.

Today is the 7th anniversary of me getting RSD, and everytime I do something invasive, it gets worse not better. Maybe that is just me, but I am willing to bet it isnt. In our never ending search for pain relief we would try anything, and so far there really isnt anything promised to work. If there was we all would be lined up to try it.
