If you are comfortable with your GYN I would go with the biopsy. Not sure what your symptoms are and I don't have RSD but I do know how very important a uterine biopsy is to rule out a number of problems.

Keep us posted.

Well my pain doc says to just make sure my ob/gyn uses extra of whatever numbing agent she is using. So I hope that all will go well, but its still over a week away.

I will keep you in my thoughts...hopefully all will go well. Please keep us posted on how it goes.

Hi Becca,

Very important question.

I understand your concern.
I do not know the answer to your question.
It seems your pain doctor and friends here gave reasonable advice.

You will see I have a recent thread which mentions a CRPS flare after biopsies.
I just want to be sure we all understand these were skin punch biopsies done on my foot and leg, which is where my CRPS is -- on both feet/ankles.

I tend to think, sometimes, we must weigh the potential costs/benefits and move forward, thinking positive and in our minds, picturing a very positive outcome.

I am guessing here, yet I think your GYN wants to do a biopsy to make sure you are okay? It's an important procedure, which could be life-saving for many people.

I wish you the best.

I agree with my Doc that the biopsy is needed based on my symptoms. She needs to rule things out, so that she can then manage those issues in the best way possible. If I can get through this with no CRPS issues I will be so happy! If it does cause a flare, well, I'll manage that. I just really am scared of spread. I know it isn't common, but after my sympathetic nerve block wore off I had symptoms farther up my leg than before ... so yea. Plus, who the heck wants CRPS in the UTERUS???? I mean hell no!

So understandable!
I wish there were more clear answers.

I am guessing many women with CRPS have uterine biopsies. I wonder if any have written about any CRPS spread due to uterine biopsies?

I am hoping for the best possible outcome for you as well.

Love All Around,
