Hi,
I think I am med resistant, because I haven't found any tablets/medicine that take away the pain and I have been on Lyrica, Ibuprofen, Beclofen, Tramadol, Gabapentin, Paracetamol, Amitriptyline and Morphine
It sounds like you PM doctor isn't that good, you should be able to ask all of the questions you want to and he shouldn't tell you not to. My PM doctor isn't good and I am hoping to trying to get a referal to another hospital.
I haven't tried the fentnyl patch but I have heard that it can be really helpful, so talk to your doctor about it and see what he says.
Do you have any of these symptoms?:
Muscle spasms
Severe burning pain, stabbing pain, aching pain
Osteoperosis
Temperature changes
Colour changes
Swelling
You have to have 3 or more of the above symptoms to have RSD (I have all of them apart from the Osteoperosis
What sort of nerve block did you have? I was just wondering because I had a 'guanethidine' nerve block and it caused me to have severe balance problems, swelling and my pain went up a lot.

Hope you are feeling better
Love
Alison
