I see the surgeon in about a week. Then is when he will need an answer as to whether we are going ahead or not. I am thinking not.

If a long car ride 's vibration causes the RSD to flare, I can't imagine what drilling into the bone would do to me.
'If' my body would tolerate the implant, I would do the bone grafting...

From what I have read on some other websites, some people are in bad pain from their implant and are looking for help.

The surgeon is also going to talk with another oral surgeon that has had more experience with RSD people. The other surgeon has researched the issue, and won't do an implant on an RSD person.
So it will be interesting to see what my oral surgeon comes away with from consulting with him.
