in Kidney Cancer #1

7 months ago my husband had  cyrosugery done to "freeze" a cancer spot on his kidney. Results after left him in much pain and swelling...he is still in the same pain. After many doctors for answers a VA doctor told him it's "RSD" Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome. Anyone know about this? A block is what is talked about.

    Not my fault

    c2psoutheast,

    I don't have any answers to your problem, but have seen at least 1 similar cyro complaint on tis board in the past.

    This procedure WAS NOT named after me. Both my father and grandfather were in the retail ice business, therefore I am an iceman too.
