I don't remember if you have the RSD or not but the bad part about having surgery on the feet they are like the hands, they are said to bring out the RSD even worse. For some reason the hands and feet are suppose to be the worst place to have surgery if you have RSD. I plan on having triggerfinger syndrome next year and I will get my Dr. to give me a block but getting that surgery done worries me more then most.

I didn't scream but I too broke out in the sweat, I swore I'd never let him give me a shot in the foot again. My PCP even said he'd do it for me the next time I need one but I'm even reluctant about him doing it.

I also had 4 shots put in the palm of my hand in Sept., again I broke out in a sweat and almost past out, I laid on the Drs. table until I felt better and then the nurse had to walk me out to Bill. I won't let him do that again. I'll go through the surgery next. My PCP just had it done and he advised me to have it done rather then to keep going through the shots. They don't last.
No matter who gives shots in the hands, feet and stomach, I think they would hurt.

No, I don't have RSD,Ada- at least as far as I know! I'm assuming from all the bad things I've read about it here, that I'd know if I had it. One of my surgeries, the pod. fused my left big toe and I have 2 titanium screws in it. Now, occasionally the top of my toe gets a burning feeling in it but it doesn't turn red and it doesn't last long- I've just blamed it on the nerves coming back alive there. When I do decide to go ahead with the surgery on that foot again, the pod. has said he will remove one of the screws because it's on the edge of my foot and it rubs against a shoe occasionally, plus, the cold weather seems to affect it, and, it's just plain gross because you can see it under the skin!:eek:
