Hi rsdslade and welcome!
I have rsd also. I'm sorry you do too. I've had it for 12 years and it would be terrifiying to have surgery. If I absolutely had to have it, I would go to a Dr. and hospital experienced. I've head of CC and Hicks.
I had to have a hysterectomy due to polyps causing excessive bleeding. My Dr. did a vaginal hysterectomy. I couldn't believe re recovery time so different from my C-section.
Has your Dr. discussed Vaginal surgery versus incision surgery? There is a big difference as far as recovery. One would seem less invasive, I don't know. But is that an option?
Wish you the best whatever you decide. Your friend, Loretta
