Dear Janel

gallblader surgery started my rsd hell. i have 80lbs of swelling on my abdomen from it and am disabled in bed. i pray that you can find some other way to work on your gallbladder and not be cut.
God bless you

I have concerns about having surgery with RSD. I am worried about spread, etc. How do they do things like this when you have RSD? To make matter worse, I am in the process of finding a new PM dr. My current one doesn't know I have found one I like...but he is a state away (Utah and I am in Arizona). So, do I stay with my current PM dr until this is taken care of? But I have started the meds from the Utah dr. I would have to disclose this to the AZ dr. aaahhh! Should I just stop and go back to the AZ dr.? I JUST started the meds with the Utah dr. so going back would not be that hard. sigh. Why can't anything be relatively easy for me??

what is everyone's experiences with surgery?

Thanks.
Janel
