Hi Kris,

So sorry about your pain. If it is RSD, why are they doing surgery? I've had RSD for four years & have seen many ortho docs. Most advise against surgery because they say the possibilty of increased pain is high. But I have heard that if you have a block prior to surgery that will help. Soaking in epsom salt water helps me. Hang in there. Why can't you see a pain doc before a neurologist? I did. Sounds like you need help asap.
Good Luck,
Linmarie
