I have RSD that started in my left foot in December and quickly spread to my right foot, to the bottoms of both feet (AFTER I quit having nerve blocks done) up both legs, and to my hands. I had an epidural nerve block a few weeks ago that triggered a MAJOR flare in me. I wish now I had just stuck to the sympathetic nerve blocks. It wasn't worth the "experiment" when things had been going ok (in retrospect, I wish I hadn't stopped having the SNB's so soon in the first place......it was containing the RSD until I quit......then it spread like crazy).

I guess my point is (or was, until I got sidetracked!!).....ask them seriously what they hope to gain by the test vs. the risk of causing a flare in you when you seem to have things under control at the moment.

I wish you well whichever route you choose and hope that you continue to remain as painfree as possible!!! We are glad to have you aboard, though sorry you need to be here!!
