Well, I can let you know when I finish mine, in a couple of months. I got the first part of it in July last year. I haven't finished it because I don't have money I feel I can justify spending on it. I did not have full blown RSD then, just the beginning of it. I was taking anti-seizure meds by that time and they worked really well. At one point I could barely feel it (yes, pro did this, my pain tolerance is really high). I got this done on my outer thigh, which is pretty meaty. I know when they're closer to bone they hurt more.

Would it matter that it's just the skin rather than inside the body? I really should know this before I finish it. I have allodynia, but it's mostly in my feet. You know, my cats scratch and bite me if I play with them rough. That doesn't hurt more then it should, but it's my arms. I'm sure if the cat laid down on my foot with his or her soft fur it would hurt!

Yes, talk to a doc about it.
