You're still pretty new to RSD but you already know that surgery is a bad thing, good for you. I didn't. My orthopedist at the time didn't know I had RSD and went ahead with laparascopic knee surgery despite the discolorations and other symptoms I was experiencing. My entire leg turned a very weird darkblue / purpleish / grey-blackish color right after surgery, this was depending on how long I was upright which wasn't very long because the nursing staff ordered me to bed *right* *away*.
Be careful with any surgery that isn't totally necessary and where precautions can't be taken (and even then it's risky). I'd try and figure out first if there's RSD in your leg/hip or if it's because of the hip joint being out of place.
The very best of luck! I hope you get some answers soon.
Keep us posted.
