Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Thank you for this excellent advice. I have made a note of it. I had to have surgery for a vaginal tumor and I was so worried that someone would bump my foot while I was out in recovery or whereever so my Doctor who knows about RSD thankfully warned all the nurses not to go anywhere near my foot! - Lyn gypsymom <gypsymom19@y...> wrote: One thing we RSDer's need to remember is if you do have to have surgery request an Anestesiologist from the Hosp. Cancer or Pain ctr. Make an appointment with them before Surgery and GET DETAILED ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TAKEN AND WHAT WORKS FOR YOU, THEY ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR AFTER CARE PAIN MGNT. WHILE IN THE HOSP. THEY WILL BE MUCH MORE ABLE TO KEEP YOU UNDER DURING SURGERY, AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE KEPT COMFORTABLE AFTER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
