I did say at the time that i have RSD but was ignored over my condition and about 6 months after the stent was removed it felt like i still had the stone and stent in place and this hasnt changed since 2001 and everyday is like having a kidney stone and i dont even want to say whats its like when im having a kidney stone at the same time.
But its eventually spread to my whole right hand side of my body and now effects my arm and im currently waiting on my electric wheelchair to roll around on. My meds at this time are Ketamine on the highest does that you can receive ive been told by the pain management team and Fentanyl patches highest dosage and for the break through ive got some Fentanyl lozenges which i use sparingly. And even with all this i still feel the pain.

Do you think putting a heat pack where your worse pain is? Also. Cover yourself with an electric throw or blanket. Having a Dog or cat helps keep your mind off your problems too. What about gabapentin. That is the dRug most of us are on.
Good luck with your Fentanyl patches. I was on them & got so dizzy; I fell & broke my neck! Now have brain problems on Rt. side. Coordination with voice box, essential tremors, double vision to the Lt. Lots of fun things! Lol
I've had RSD for 13 yrs. I had a simple tennis elbow operation & my Rt. hand swelled three times it's size & turned purple. The whole story- COULN'T stand air on it, etc. Best of luck. & TRY A PAIN DOCTOR!
