Hello,
I have studied your case.
If your pain is not getting relieved by sympathetic blocks then you may need surgical release by dorsal rhizotomy.
Take supportive medication and physiotherapy may help.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
