I am kind of at a loss as what to do-it is w/c and i'm sure many of you know how difficult that can be. i happened to find this website by accident but there seems to be a wealth of info.
any info thoughts, ect are most welcomed   |
Hi there. Much support here indeed. Also check out the RSDSA site at:
http://www.rsds.org/index2.html American RSD Hope isn't half bad either:

And yes, I put a ketamine/lidocaine/gabapentine gel on my feet at night, and at least for me it works pretty well on burning pain, even if it just provides temporary relief.
Important question that will guide some folks in their responses: how long were you symptomatic before you got the Dx? Not to hold you in suspense, some therapies work better if they are applied sooner rather than later in the course of the disease. Others aren't so picky.
Glad to meet you, sorry it had to be under these circumstances.
