I think that the chances of having a flare up will be decreased if the doctors are aware and willing to take precautions like running Ketamine or having an epidural for a couple of days after the Hysterectomy.
Cake, perhaps your surgeon might contact your Pain Management doctor to get his advice for special precautions for you.
Good luck for the future

I should have read this stuff from The HERS foundation before I gave thanks for the article.
I do know someone who did get RSD post Hyster but I know and have looked after hundreds who did not get RSD
Cake, this article is nothing short of propaganda from a 'non-profit' organisation which needs to do a LOT more research.
'CASTRATION" what the-----
Most women do not have their ovaries removed unless there is a malignancy so this makes the use of this word pure scare tactic.
Although I have yet to have a Hysterectomy, I would have one in a heartbeat if it was warranted. You have made a well informed decision Cake and I am sure you will recover very well, especially if you can get your pain team involved in your pre and post op management.
Good luck for your surgery
