I'm so sorry you have to get gallbladder surgery done too. Tell your dr to research RSD so that they are extra careful with you and also ask if they can do laproscopic surgery. It's less invasive which means to me less chance of rsd spread. And don't take Advil or advil like products. And try to rest as much as possible prior to surgery. I learned that helps from my past surgeries. I know it sucks to have more pain on top of rsd pain, but if you get laproscopic surgery, it's not as bad. I had laproscopic surgery for my hysterectomy. It was painful but not as painful as regular surgery. And try to hang in there. I know it gets tiring to stay positive when you are in pain all the time, but I've heard from others like Bram and Heidi that they felt better after their gallbladder was out. I've heard that it also makes the rsd calm down a little. And you can go back to eating what you want again. I miss bacon and can't wait to eat it again.lol. So hang in there and I'll keep you updated on my surgery. It's this monday at 6:15 in the morning. UGH. I will pray for you. Let me know how you are doing if you don't mind. Take care my friend.
