Is this the same thing as a rasotomy? It sounds close.

tried to Google it but found the spelling was off - rhizotomy

Thanks, I used YAhoo it and it came up the other way. I thought it was wrong, but that was what it said.

I have had 3 of those, and if they are close to the same thing I would stay away.

thanks that is a great amount of information. I have Crps in mainly my upper body and want to get rid of mainly alot of the pain but it seems a scarey operation to go through. What does it effect after re-cooping from the surgery?
That has me most scared!
