Rich,
I am so glad you will be able to turn it up soon, and I hope and pray it will give you very good pain relief!! I am curious, did you have any sympathetic nerve blocks before, during, or after your surgeries to keep your RSD from spreading??? or did you just knock on wood and that did the trick???
Many of us have heard here the importance of having the preventative blocks to prepare for surgery. I am VERY glad either way that it did not spread in you. You poor dear, you have enough pain as it is. Thanks for the update and for writing back!! Keep us posted on how you're doing!!! We all wish you the best!!
