I am new so please bare with me. New to such a group and the posting too. I still can't figure out how to post a new question!

But to respond to your question, I had minor hip surgery after the dx of CRPS in the lower, right leg. I did not know of any of the pre-procedure techniques several of you mentioned and therefore had none performed. Maybe I'm just lucky or it just hasn't decided to spread from the leg to the thigh - yet. It have been over 6 months and so far so good. I distract myself from even the thought of spreading.

However, I agree with some of the stated opinions that unless it is really, really necessary it be probably best not to take the risk. CRPS/RDS is too fickle a disease to play a game of chance.
