Thank you both ever so much for replying - I really appreciate it.

Jenno - I am so very happy that your daughter had success from the HBO - I have heard that it can be really good. The beginning of this year, my mom took me to an HBO centre near where we live to see if they recommended HBO for RSD and they said that they had a few RSD patients on their books and that the HBO was helping them to varying degrees. If I remember correctly, I think 1 was almost pain-free, 2 were better than they were and another one wasn't getting any results. The Doctors at the HBO centre told us not to get our hopes set too high but in most cases, the RSD responds well to HBO after so long. We agreed to give the HBO a shot and I was all due to start the HBO and then I had an ingrown toenail removed which caused me to develop really bad muscle spasms and my PM Doctor decided that the HBO probably wouldn't help with the spasms and Dystonia and decided to try medications even though I was very reluctant. Thinking back, we should have tried the HBO then and there but my Doctor kept saying that the meds would help with the spasms better than the HBO but they didn't and then I was sent onto the intense Physical Therapy program.

Me and my mom are going to be looking into the HBO again as I am a bit reluctant at the moment to have my leg casted. To me, the HBO sounds like a much safer option.

Send your daughter my best wishes and thanks once again for replying! Alison

Debbie - Thank you so much for replying. I wish you the very best of luck with the HBO and am keeping my fingers crossed that you get some much needed relief. You will be in my thoughts and please keep us all updated when you can! Love, Alison
