My pain decreased significantly on LDN, but not near enough to allow me to stand on my RSD foot. Only when I got in the water did the pain lessen enough for me to put weight on my foot, which is why I believe that both modalities are needed to regain mobility. When I am in the water I am close to being pain free.
Plus it is the gift that, at least for me, keeps on giving. I had to go off LDN for several weeks for a surgical procedure and I have not needed to take pain meds at all. I do have pain, cramping and electrical surges, but at bearable levels.
