Thoracic Sympathectomy

I just wondered if anyone has had a Thoracic Sympathectomy for Raynauds. I had the procedure done last November to see if it would help my raynauds, CRPS and ulnar nerve neuropathy and although it helped with the coldness in my left hand for about 6 weeks it has caused excessive sweating which is so incredibly embarrassing. It is definitely a procedure that I will not be repeating. Just wondering if the sweating situation improves?
