I am so sorry that your pain is so out of control following your surgery. You had mentioned earlier that you were planning on having a minor surgery sometime this week. I was hoping that this would not happen.

I had a cyst on one of my fingers sometime last year. The doctor I saw refused to do any type of surgery, no matter how minor in fear that it might make things worse. Luckily, I no longer even notice the cyst anymore.

It is interesting, I just watched one of Dr. Chopra's videos again and took notes on what to do in case surgery is necessary. Most of this has to do with major surgeries, but I thought I would share anyway. Here is what I took notes on:

If surgery is necessary, ask if they can administer IV ketamine. start gabapentin, vitamin C, and minocycline at least 2 weeks prior and continue at least 2 weeks after surgery. Let them know that you have CRPS, and that it needs to be marked in your chart so that it will not be missed. Make sure the medical staff knows to handle you with extreme care. Have the most qualified and experienced person set up any IVs or other needlework. Apply Synera patch before starting an IV. Let them know that you have difficult veins. Keep all trauma to an absolute minimum. If having lower surgery, talk about the possibility of an epidural and continue with it for at least 24 hours post operative.

Did they prescribe anything, or are you taking anything that might help reduce your pain level? If it is not helping, maybe try calling your surgeon to see if they can provide something a little stronger for a short time.

Sending healing thoughts, prayers and hugs in hopes that things will calm down some for you.
