Default Avoiding surgery

I new something was wrong when my left leg was in plaster. I had had this surgery before and felt something wasnt quite right. I did my own research and when I went back to the ortho, asked him about it and he said " I thought you might have RSD but didnt want to tell you!"....That started the rounds of drs, along with the specialists for my blood clot.

So its now 2009, I forget the amount of drug changes that I have had, the amount of specialists I have seen and seem to be getting nowhere.
So I have had some troubles with my left wrist, I went and had some scans done and the ortho has found a cyst filled with fluid but also one cyst thats 1cm wide actually growing OUT from inside a bone in my wrist.

I am so scared about having a bone graft surgery on my wrist when it is on my bad side already. Has anyone else had major surgery when its NOT connected to the rsd???

Any input would be great thanks
Hi, I have been advised by those who are recognized to be the best doctors specializing in rsd in the world to avoid surgery at all costs unless it is an absolute emergence.. Hope this helps in your decision. cz
