There are studies coming out of Britain and France about using Vit C to prevent RSD in people with ankle and wrist injuries.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19840748

There are other papers too...
using keywords at PubMed "vitamin C reflex sympathetic dystrophy".

Since this is rather easy to do with few if any side effects, it might be worth it to try for your concerns.

If you search Vitamin C here you will find some patients using high dose IV treatments, later in the course, which are helping some of them. Antioxidants have been suggested for RSD in the past.
