Abstract
- Complex regional pain syndrome II can be diagnosed by the presence of continuing pain, allodynia or hyperalgesia following well-defined nerve injury. A 32-year-old woman presented with severe bilateral sole pain, allodynia and paresthesia following a selective neurectomy of the motor nerve branched to the medial gastrocnemius muscle. The patient was treated with a lumbar sympathetic ganglion block, with RF (radiofrequency) lesioning, after which the allodynia was dramatically improved.
