Thanks for the info, Bobber - we'll have to look into the supplement!! I hope it helps you!
I agree with your doctors about the surgery. I have had 2 supposingly 'minor' procedures and both of them made me a lot worse so I have been told to stay away from surgery now unless I absolutely have to have it (eg, for life saving treatments etc). Do a lot of research into the surgery before you decide to go ahead with it. It sounds like your doctors know about RSD and aren't forcing the issue unless you want to have it done thankfully!
Take care and let us know how the supplements work for you - I hope you get some relief!!!
