Hello Everyone,

I'm new here but not new to RSD. I took a minor fall inside my home three years ago that resulted in RSD in my left knee. Unfortunately nobody recognized it at the time and rather than treating the RSD they replaced the knee with an artificial joint. That was BRUTAL!

Have spent the last 2 1/2 years searching for and trying various treatments and went thru 6/7 doctors in that same timespan. I have a spinal cord stimulator that gives me some baseline relief but nowhere near enough to have a decent quality of life. A normal day to me is a 7-8 with pain ranging into the 9/10 levels whenever the barometric pressure drops.

Am still looking for a treatment that will get me down to a 5 - which is where I figure I'd be able to have a reasonable quality of life.
