Question How Is It Possible Not To Take Medications With RSD?
I take 21 pills per day. One pill led to another, then another; side effects of one med to another, increased chronic pain, as the RSD brought many complications. The severe,burning pain brought on chronic pain, depression/anxiety, insomnia, hbp, gerd, inflamation.

I also use pain patches, heating pad, and a TENS Unit.
