Those are high statistics.

You are right. We do need Drs. that could follow a protocol of several different things to help a person get into remission. I have had ketamine injections, lidocaine and mericaine also. My PCP used the protocol of blocks, triggerpoint injections, PT and hot water therapy. When I first started fighting my RSD and Fibro I would do anything to get it under control. It was a major struggle but we found if we followed a protocol and stuck with it, then we did better. We just didn't give up.

Why is the US not using it like they are where you live? What are the reasons. I most likely have read why at one time or another but I can't keep anything in my head for long.

I think the one of the main things in dealing with RSD is finding a Dr. that is willing to be in it for the long haul and knows enough about it to try and get it into remission. There aren't a lot of them that do even in Pain Management. They give up after awhile if the case is too hard, also the patient gets frustrated and gives up after awhile. It sure isn't an overnight thing to get it into remission.
