Armed with a list of questions and concerns. He still didn't have a lot to say. His new approach is changing my meds..d/c the gabapintin.. Increased hydro..added clonaxepam. Ordered a bone scan and briefly discussed a neurostimulater .
Not sure what to think about all this. He also mentioned this might have spread into my shoulder. I haven't started the new med yet. Read everything I could find out about it and frankly I scared to take it.
Would love to hear some thoughts about all of this.
Has anyone else taken this clonaxpam? Side effects experience?

Hey Jana. I am glad you were able to see the dr sooner, but am confused on his medication choices. I know you said the gabapentin wasn't working. Were you having an adverse reaction to it as well? I ask because he could've increased the dosage of it to see if that would help before discontinuing it. I cannot take that med, but a lot of people on this forum do and it helps them. I have never taken clonaxpam, but I do have diazepam which is in the same drug class. Clonaxpam is for anxiety and a muscle relaxer. Not sure how that will help your pain. Diazepam does nothing for my RSD pain or symptoms.
I still think you need to find a new doctor.
