I have RSD in my shoulder, arm and hand. I had a frozen shoulder for almost 2 years before they operated on me. The surgeon really didn't want to touch me because of the RSD but I wasn't getting better. I had a continuous block before during and after surgery. Suppose to stop the spread.The surgery did not work and the surgeon will not operate on me again. Surgery can spread RSD and I know believe I have it in my other shoulder. I would not have the surgery unless it was absolutely necessary.If you do, make sure they do a block. I have no use of my arm now and just pray the other one doesn't get as bad.
