Hi again,

Obviously none of us can really help you make a decision on such an important issue.

But I agree with Allen, and would just like to add a couple of things.

Firstly, scarring after sympathectomy, neuroablation, neurectomy - call it what you will - has very often led to worse problems; you can see this for yourself just by googling for it. And secondly, remember that if you remove any part of the body's fundamental neural pathways, you rule out taking advantage of any future advances in treatment that may well need those pathways.

By the way, just wanted to let you know that this forum, while usually pretty busy, can be quiet at weekends, specially over public holidays (people have families, kids etc.)...you'll probably get much more feedback on Tuesday, hope you do.

Sounds like you've really been through the mill, so sorry to hear about it all and I do hope they can come up with something a bit less drastic to help soon...

all the best!
