We have had several on here that went into remission but they usually don't come back on here afterward.

I have seen many around here go into remission and it has been due to blocks and PT. I have seen the blocks work for many that have had it for years. I do believe it depends on the kind of meds that they use in the blocks also and how many they give.

Here we have an Anesteologist that has his own mini hospital that he does blocks in after he leaves his job at the regular hospital. He rollerskates to work at the young age of 40+. The man is excellent. I have seen him give blocks to people that have had it for years and they work.

I have had 3 by him. I was scheduled to have at least 15 more but I had a panic attack and threw me into a tither and we quit. Those 3 did the job though. I have been in remission for about 4 years. I also get triggerpoint injections if I see mine trying to come back out. Right now I am getting shots in my pelvic and hip area to calm it down and they are helping.

I also spent over 4 years in Physical Therapy. Not lifting weights nor therabands. Mine was massages and stretching my arms and legs. That did wonders for me.

I honestly believe you will get better, maybe even go into remission. It's just not an overnight thing with RSD.

I don't know what the statistics are as GnP says but I have seen some good results in my area so donot give up.
