Thank you or all the replies and support from everyone. I agree with you all.
I've had a fairly difficult time finding doctors who will accept a patient with a pre-existing pain pump with my insurance and then with the complex medical history I have...

I made an appt with the 'doctor himself' oh my; how lucky am i?
I'm seeing him a few days after surgery.

What I plan on doing;
Probably going through the surgery monday, and calling the next day if my pain is unmanageable.
My main doctor and his associate performing my surgery monday are two very different people with different ways of treating. Neither doctor is on my side, but the main one has a softer approach.

I do have a best friend who assured me she'd fight with my doctor for me if i wasn't able to. She assured me she won't leave me in pain, alone to fend for myself right after surgery (i have my own apt and live alone with my dog)
This friend is going to come with me for surgery and will be coming to check in on me a couple times a day to help me and help me with my dog (live on the second floor)
'll just call or come into my drs office, if my pain is unmanageable. (Reception likes to avoid certain callers or take days' to return a message/call at times)

After surgery at my consult; I plan to plainly ask my doctor if he really diagnosed me with RSD then why is he treating me like i don't have it now...?

Thanks for any info
