Hey Michelle,
I hope had a good visit with your doctor. I have ful body RSD and I have done injections one after another and they didn't help.I had a SCS for 2 1/2 years and I had it removed it wasn't helping. After several years of working with my PM doctor we got the right combination of meds. I see a chiropractor 3 times and week and he is a life saver.
Hang in there and take it one day at a time. Be active in your care and ask questions. Don't allow RSD to define who you are as a person.
Take care,
Sherrie
