I haven't tried Hypnosis before although it was suggested for me by my Pain Management Doctor when I was initially diagnosed with RSD. He said that it might try and "relax" me as I was (and still am) very tense and all of my muscles were extremely tight!!

We later learnt though that my RSD was "Independantly (sp?) Maintained" and was in my brain and my PM said that he didn't think it would be worth it in my case as it only seems to work best on people with Sympathetically Maintained Pain! I'm not sure how true that is but I did a bit of research and couldn't really find anything that was related to it!!

I agree with what the others have said, unfortunately what works for one person doesn't work for another as I am sure you already know! It really is a matter of trial and error and experemting with different treatment options to see which work best for you!

I wish you the very best of luck and please keep us updated when you can!
