Oh, Desi,
I wouldn't even know where to start with that one... But it doesn't sound like a procedure that a RSD patient should have. I could be totally wrong... But..
Doesn't RSD/CRPS have a better chance to spread when you have surgery? Especially with the nerves... I'm so new to RSD so I'm sure someone will come along and correct me if I am wrong....
Have they done this same procedure with any other RSD/CRPS patients and if so what has the outcome been and can you talk to them?
Maybe you can get a second opinion even if you have to travel... If it were me I would do a second oppinion...
Best of Luck...

Desi,
Bless your heart, it sounds scary. I don't know what to tell you. There must be some reason he wants to do it that way. Sit down with him and have him explain everything to you. For now, just enjoy the 4th, relax, and if the water is warm enough,,,swim..You deserve the best treatment, and maybe,,,this will help.
Love, Mary

hey desi,

like the others i have absolutely no idea what to say about a procedure like that. you have always been so kind to respond to my posts that i wanted to make sure you knew i was here to lend an ear. unfortunately, that's about all i can lend at this point. my only advice would be to do lots of research on that particular procedure and make sure to get a second opinion and last but not least listen to your gut instincts! i'm sorry i couldn't be more help, desi, i hope you get the answers you need and know that we are here to support you no matter what you decide. hope you have the best day possible and enjoy your fireworks and your family jen
