Hi Drea

When I had my hysterectomy last year, I had ketamine and morphine through IVs and 20mg endones on request, which was quite often in the first few days. The morphine drip stayed in for I think the first 3 days, the ketamine for 5 or 6. Both really helped with my post op pain, as well as my RSD pain. And I second the comment about Vitamin C, that definitely helps the body heal and to prevent the RSD spreading.

I'm sorry you've got to go through this, on top of everything else you've gone through. I'll keep everything crossed that the surgery goes perfectly and your recovery is smooth.

x Kate
