There are some studies coming out of Britain and France about using high dose Vit C for ankle/wrist surgery/trauma patients.

They found when given for 50 days or so at onset of the surgery there was significant reduction in RSD formation.

Now, you are post surgical for some time, so I don't know if it would help you. 1000mg Vit daily... Ester C is easiest to tolerate.

We've had a Vitamin C thread here recently too:

If I were you, I'd look into this, since it is not a huge invasive thing, or a serious drug treatment. Consult with your doctor if you can take this amount of Vit C based on your medical records and history and treatments already.

This is one example to be found on PubMed:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19840748

There are several other papers going back to 2000 on this topic as well.
