Hi.

I just wanted to jump in here and let you know that I agree that you need to find another doctor.

Treatment for this disease also includes pain medication when we have flares. It just is that way.

I also wanted to mention that I also had a block for the RSD in my arms. The block didn't help me at all - so it was my last. It's completely individual whether you will get relief.

I know that other doctors do blocks differently - not in pain like where I went. That doctor was cruel. I found another doctor who handles pain differently and isn't afraid to give you the medication to take the "edge" off.

Good luck to you. I hope you find somebody that is experienced with RSD and will give you the treatment that you deserve and is beneficial.
