In October of 08 it was decided my only option left was to undergo surgery, the only problem was my RSD. My surgeon was very hesitant about preforming the operation since he knew the risks of my RSD spreading and or becoming worse. Seeing it was my only option at a some what "normal" life i opted for surgery. I am now almost 3 months post-op and it looks like my RSD might be returning, this time with a vengeance. I am seeing my surgeon in a few more days, so hopefully I will get some answers.

Thx everyone for being so supportive.
Just please be VERY careful about surgery with RSD. Get several opinions......have your Pain Doc on board to give you blocks......take care and keep us posted on what you choose to do!!
