Hi Rita and welcome to NeuroTalk tho i very sorry for what brings you here

the forums are slower today being the holiday weekend but hopefully you will get some replies to your post soon from our RSD members

I am quoting your introductory post below so others can see your info

Hi everyone.. I've just registered, at the request of my fiance', who was diagnosed with RSD last month following a crush injury to his left foot and ankle at work. His injury happened just over 2 months ago, and the RSD has already spread to his knee. He is experiencing tremors and "dancing legs" and has severe swelling and discoloration. Of course, he's dealing with constant pain, and taking 2 different meds at this time, without much relief.
We've seen the pain specialist once, and he has an appt. for a sympathetic lumbar block next month. The doctor says if it doesn't help, they will get "more aggressive". I'm really worried about this, and not sure how much more aggressive it can get! I've read that alot of people don't really get relief from the blocks, so I'm hoping it isn't in vain.
We had never even heard of RSD until he was diagnosed. We are both in desperate need of answers, and hope. We are both really glad to have found this forum, and others going through the same things.
