SURGERY AND RSDS


SURGERY AFTER A PATIENT HAS RSDS CAN CAUSE AN EXACERBATION OF THE DISEASE. NOT IN ALL CASES THOUGH.

IF SURGERY MUST BE PERFORMED, PROPER PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN, SUCH AS MAKING SURE YOUR PAIN DOCTOR IS HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS AND THAT SYMPATHETIC BLOCKS BE USED BEFORE AND DURING THE PROCEDURE.

JUST ONE MORE REASON WHY DRS SHY AWAY FROM RSDS PATIENTS, IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE BUT TRAGIC.
