Hi, my name is Maddy and I've had RSD for over 4 years now. My upper right side is affected from a very badly broken right arm. I've never been able to recuperate the arm because of the RSD and therefore my arm is quite disabled because of it. My pain levels go quite high. I'm almost never out of pain. Because I live in a small city, there is nothing here to help me with this condition. My doctor just writes out prescriptions for more pain meds from time to time (percosets AND two different strengths of slow release Oxycontin).

I do a lot of research online, but the things that interest me, like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. or t.D.C.S (which I found out about on this site!), I cannot do because of having a pace maker.

I don't really want to do a whole history. I just want to say 'hi' and 'thank you' for all the knowledge everyone offers here.

My latest research is about the newly released drug 'Zohydro ER'. If anyone has info about this, I'd be grateful.

Well, on to more reading here on NT.

Blessings to all,

Maddy
