Dear Dr Yeo
I am a Malaysian who has severe intractable pain in my left leg due to insufficient blood flow from blocked blood vessels. I was unable to go for any bypass surgery as I have extremely poor heart functions and had a few heart attacks. I can hardly walk for more than ten steps as my pain was excruciating. (Picture: left foot was pale and critically low in blood flow)

A Lumbar Sympathectomy (a specialized injections done in 30 minutes; not a surgery) was performed under fluoroscopic (special X ray) guidance. Mr Lee A.S' pain was greatly reduced and he regained walking distance of the entire orchard road! (The leg pinked up post procedure and lasted him throughout the year of follow-up)
