Diprivin/Propofol which is the anaesthetic agent used to put you off to sleep almost always causes extreme pain when going the vein. It is unfortunately listed as a side effect and most decent anaesthetists will warn you before they inject it. Some anaesthetists add some local into the Diprivin to make it less painful.
Every time I have it I feel as though I am being burnt by the substance but it actually causes no harm at all to the vein.
Whether you could contend that you were not forewarned about the pain and attempts were not made to ease the pain I am not sure but I am not sure they will agree that your RSD started with this injection as severe pain it is part and parcel of the drug.

Having said that I do wish you every luck in the world but I do know, as cake says, they are very, very hard to sue and sometimes the cost to you in terms of health and stress may not make the payout (if one is allocated) worth the effort.

cheers and luck
Tayla
