bubulahj,

Welcome! You are correct that there is a wealth of information here. We have a lot of experience in dealing with RSD and the various treatments. Two things to keep in mind:

1) With a few exceptions, we are not medical people here. I know there are some nurses and therapists and there may even be a doctor or two. But by and large, we are "regular people" who have RSD/CRPS in common, sharing our experiences.

2) Treatments, drugs and therapies work differently with different patients. You may read here that "Acme Miracle Drug" works great, but it does nothing for you. Don't get discouraged, that is common. Take our opinions at large when discussing options with your doctors.

All the best to you --

Mike (a different Mike)
