The anesthesiologist should be aware if you have RSD, there are certain protocols (such as using ketmine) during the surgery, if RSD is present.
You've really got to get moving on the RSD, before any more surgery. Talk to your surgeon about it, maybe he can refer you to someone?
If you have any teaching (university) hospitals, that's a good place to start. Call, ask for the 'Cheif of Neurology'.
Ask here, tell us what city you're close to, and maybe some one will have a referral for you. Go to
rsdsa.org
they have a doctor finder, by zip code.
Do what you must, but please, get this RSD ruled in or out!, It'll make an incredible difference in your life!
Wish you the Best!

What are the dangers in having surgery with this condition? thanks very much for your reply!
