Just curious if any one else out there has heard of Reflex Sympathetic
Dystrophy & possibly knows of anyone that has had a successful
Sympathectomy. Surgeons I have spoken to tend to speak in a Statistical
fashion, which is OK, but I have spoken live with 4 people who had them and
all 4, one committed suicide, have had dismal results. I have it in my arm
and, based on the information I have I'm not too excited about this option.
