Its a hard descion, but it has to be your descion to make. I had the option to have a surgery done for my left shoulder/arm/scapula and thats my worst side for RSD and I decided to not have the surgery because I didnt want the RSD to spread and then I knew if it would the surgery wouldnt be sucesful like I would want it to be. You also have to take factors into place, Like i was going to have to be braced for 2 months with no movement at all because the graft needed time to take, which is terribly bad for RSD paitents, and then I was going to have to go threw very intense PT, and I dont tolerate that. So yes i probley do live in more pain then I have to, but i didnt want to make the situation worse then it already is and that was a chance i was going to have to take and I didnt want to take it, and that was going to be on me, not my surgoen. So just go over all the factors that involve the surgery. And you decide what you think is best for yourself. I know its very hard!
