Understand your fears and anxiety. You're just walking down the path where I've already been. My question is, where do you live? I am in West Palm Beach, FL, and could give you a vote of confidence about your doctors and/or the facility where it is taking place. Have you checked the credentials of your physicians and/medical facility? Have you asked your doctor if he/she has had any experience in this procedure and/or RSD? Those are two very important questions. You might ask if it would be possible to have one of their former/current patients call you. Some times some doctors will do that, though it is not the norm.
