What are you supposed to get out of the program? And what are you going to do about work and your family? I could never imagine just leaving my home for a month. But I only take percocet, not morphine (at least not yet), so perhaps my pain levels are not as severe as yours. And my upper right extremity is where my RSD started so I can still walk, even though my feet have started to get pretty swollen lately.

You are usually entitled to a second opinion under any health insurance plan. Go with your gut - if you don't feel right about what your doctor has recommended, see if you find another good doc to review his treatment plan. Nothing like a second set of eyes to give you some peace of mind.

Also -can you talk to any patients who have been through the program he is referring you to? It might help you to get some real life feedback. And perhaps you could check out their website and the practitioners' credentials.

The best of luck to you. Who knows? This may be an excellent opportunity for you to get some great medical care for your condition.
