All goes well one-week post op except that I have burning pain in my chest. Dr. Sanders says that this is from irritation to my cutaneous nerves and that I should try brushing my chest with a soft brush, but that this may last for a couple months. The soft brush thing doesn't really work. Light tickling and any type of cooling action in does help a bit.

However, it is still excruciating.

I'm wondering if this sounds like RSD to any of you? If so, any thoughts about whether I should look into getting blocks? Are the right type called sg blocks? All thoughts very very appreciated.
