I am kind of nervous about having another surgery after a major shoulder surgery caused the onset my RSD which spread quite a bit. Anyone else know any preventative things I can do? Thanks, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear about the suspicious thyroid nodule. I hope the pathology
reports show it to be benign. My daughter took 1000 MG at least three times
a day. She also had a ganglia block as well before surgery. Her RSD is in the
hand arm and also the result of surgery on her hand and wrist. She broke her
arm and had to have the second surgery. Her surgeon told her to get on vitamin
C right away. Despite the first surgery being the trigger she did not experience
spread with the second surgery. Her doctor suggested the ganglia block prior
to surgery. Hope this helps. Good Luck
