hi abigal. i am sorry you have rsd. i have had it for almost five years and it started in my right hand and wrist after breaking it. i found a pm dr who did nerveblocks which helped a little and a neurologist who gave me prednisone for a short time to help with swelling. i also had six months of pt and now have a home exercise program of light stretches. i am not ready for a scs and accupuncture only made my rsd spread. right now my pain is managed by gabapentin and pain killers that my pm dr prescribes. if gabapentin doesnt help maybe you can ask you pm dr what he thinks of trying lyrica. i never tried lyrica but have heard of others who say it helps them. i am not a dr so i would ask him but don't give up hope. there are treatments and meds to help manage rsd pain. you just have to find the one that works for you. it takes some time before you will find the right thing to help you. but there are things that can help. you just have to find the right dr to help you. just take it a day at a time. this group is amazing and has helped me to deal with my rsd journey. sending gentle hugs your way.
