Thank you, I will look up that beir block. I go for my second opinion on surgery. My foot and ankle are very bad. I had been misdiagnosed for 8 years before an MRI was done. I need tendon transfers, achilles lengthened, and the heel moved back under me. I also colapsed my arch. I am very afraid to do this surgery because of the PN and risk of making RSD worse. On the other hand, my walking is being taken from me. This is one heck of a position to be in. Thanks for the suggestion. ginnie
