I'm so sorry that you are dealing with all of this and really hope you get some answers and pain-relief real soon!

Unfortunately, from what I have been told and heard from others, RSD can spread even from just a simple injection!! I haven't had an Lumber Puncter as they are really a "diagnostic tool" for RSD but have had a Guanethadine Nerve Block and it made me SO much worse and left me wheelchair bound for 13 months!!

It is extremely important that your Doctor knows about RSD when having even just an injection as there are precautions that need to be put in place to try and prevent any spreading and complications. From what I have been told, most doctors use a very fine needle and it is very important that they give you plenty of Anaesthetic to try and help.

I hope you get some answers soon and i'm sorry that you are dealing with all of this. If you ever want someone to talk to, please know that I am here for you as I DO understand!!

Please keep us updated when you can!
