Hello everybody. My name is Scott. I am originally from Long Island, New York. I now live in Florida. I had my ETS-C done a little over 2 years ago for palmer HH. If I had known about all the potential side effects I would have never had it done. About 6 months after surgery I had a return of my hand sweating and spoke to the surgeon who performed the operation. I told him it was almost, but not as bad as before the operation. I also told him that sweat had returned to my head. His explanation for this was that the nerve was possibly re-generating. I mentioned possibly having the clamps removed or re-adjusted and he says to me " I don't know why anybody would want it reversed." He then suggested that I wait and see and maybe this would be a " happy medium" for me. At the time it didn't sound like a bad idea. I kind of liked the idea that my head still sweat -would help keep my head cool. I also did not want to go through the pain of another surgery and could not afford to take more time off of work. I took his advice and did not have the clamps removed. They are still in me today. This was a big mistake. My hands still sweat. I suffer from bad CS in the hot weather, which it is hot here in Florida most of the time. I have to stay indoors during the day or I soak through my clothes. The last few weeks have been hell for me. I have now developed burning sensations in my arms which feels worse in the cold weather or in a very air conditioned room. It is driving me nuts. My doctor sent me to a neurologist to have tests done, I asked the neurologist if he thought the surgery had anything to do with the pains I was feeling and he said no. That there was no way this could happen. I said it gets worse with heightened stress levels and he basically said ( with ZERO compassion ) that it was in my head and to learn how to deal with my stress better. He then told me to go to a psychiatrist. FUCKING SOB.
I asked him to prescribe an MRI to view the nerve but he refused saying that it was not a neurological problem. I don't know what to do. If I have the clamps taken out or leave them in, will my situation get worse either way? I am afraid to go to the same surgeon to ask. All of this is taking a serious toll on me ( and my girlfriend for that matter ). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. P. S. I just realised there was a Stories board. Sorry, my bad.
