As far as a lot of Drs. I think between us all, we have seen most all of them to get diagnosed and medical attention for RSD.

I really think the blocks will help you. Some people may stop too soon, some Drs. may use different meds, and sometimes they may now work but do give them the chance.

People have so many options of getting the help they need. I think Physical Therapy is very good if you find a PT that works with RSD and knows something about it.

HBO is used by people also and can help. I met a lady in Denver years ago that was doing it there for RSD and TOS and it was helping her.

Also, ketamine treatments seem to be something pretty new coming in to the light the past few years.

As far as meds, again, it depends on each person. I tried all of them until I got to Methadone and I loved it. I am off of it now but I took it for years and to me it seemed to have the least side effects for me.

Some people here end up with the SCS and some the pain pump.

We have found our way to help with the pain in a lot of cases, as someone else said, there isn't any cure.

I'm glad you found us and I do hope that you start feeling better soon.
