I'll echo what zoo said and yes do find a good Pain Mgt. Dr. I had a broken wrist and surgery 5 days later. I knew within a week that something was very wrong, but I was treated like I was WAY overreacting! My hand was contracted and would not move, on top of that it had all of the CRPS/RSD symtoms (I had never heard of it at that point). I was in excruciating pain! It took a very knowledgable P.T to raise the red flag to my Dr.
Anyway, I've tried several meds., and have settled onto about 5. I've had 14 nerve blocks through my neck (the first 3-4 having the best effect). I did the spinal cord stimulator trial only.
With the nerve blocks + frequent P.T I've regained some mobility of my hand and so far the pain is a lot more manageable.
This is a great group for advice and support!
