I am so nervous because I am scheduled to have an excisional biopsy on my right breast tomorrow. I have put this off for over three months because I fear a RSD flare up in a new place almost as much as I fear getting a diagnosis of cancer. I am going to do it even though I have my doubts. I just need to know the little suspicous spot is out and is properly looked at.

I have been taking 500mg of vitamin C this week and have talked to my surgeon about RSD. I think they plan to put the IV in my foot rather than the arm because my RSD is completely in my left arm and shoulder. I am hoping I can get through this without a huge RSD complication. Sometimes I wonder if I should just let things alone and not tempt fate with another surgery since having an ulnar nerve surgery started up this whole RSD problem almost three years ago.

I would love to hear from anyone who has had surgery since their RSD diagnosis. Was it good or bad and did you take any precautions?

Thanks so much - Lisa
