Hopeful trust me I have gotten a range of never getting better to running again dx. My point is I think doctors sometimes just don't know with this cause that it is quiet an extreme. On a side note when I was at my new pain doctor this last week we were talking about my PN and RSD and he was hoping that it is mostly PN because if we can find the cause you can treat that and get a lot better. Unfortunatly I have had almost every test for the cause so am not sure what is left but was wondering if you know your cause? I also think a lot comes down to finding the right treatment which is a long long process it seems that is very stressful. Like I have heard here from Dan who found fentnyl or Brian about the b12 and sugar these things changed their lives. Hope we all find that soon. Many thoughts
