Hi
I have had a sympathectomy, personally it didnt help but thats cos most of my pain is CNS not SNS..... it wasn't after TOS and I felt dreadful after it for a while..... sorry to be so negative! I really hope that yours helps and I know several RSDers who have really benefited from the process!! Rosie xxxxxxxxxxx

I had sympathectomies several months after TOS surgery which helped tremendously,I think
 I had them on T1 and T2. I do use blocks as a pain management tool , mostly on my lower body - my feet a newer addition to my personal RSD family  I still get good relief from Lumbar blocks- much beter than upper body blocks. Occasionaly I get a little flared from them but nothing I can't handle and the relief far outweighs the negative side effects of the procedure. I would definitely suggest trying them out. If they work for you they can be a great source of pain relief and they can arrest the progress of this condition. Good Luck GnP Last edited by Goodn'Plenty; 11-16-2006 at 01:18 PM. Reason: confused blocks and sympathectomies- blonde moment:) |
