I had prolapsed, and had several other proceedures at the same time. With RSD, you need to find a doctor that will work in conjuncion with your surgeon to address the RSD issues. There are medicines for surgery, that will not trigger a flair. One I know of is Katemine. Keep asking question, and don't submit to any surgery without second opinion, and a specialst in RSD. I do wish you all the best. ginnie
