I was just thinking of you. You know I am here for you to talk anytime day or night. I was worried. I did a day patient well for 4 days because my pain was too high but anyhow these programs don't use as needed meds like opiates etc only the ones like neurontin. My current pain doc feels the same way as in the long run he said that your body begins to process pain more when used on a regular basis and you would need to keep increasing to get any benefit. I think as a once an awhile thing it is different. I am not sure the answer and to I think everyone with rsd responds to treatments different. I am sorry for all though who have to deal with WC pushing something. I don't like giving advice on what people should do for treatment because what may help one person may be torture for another. I do feel for you on a side note that you need to work on some of the stresses in your life and over doing it. It is ok to say NO to someone. It does not make you a failure nor does asking for help and support. It is a success to reach out and know your needs and barriers. I do think that certain type os coping that some of the programs aid with like biofeedback,family and self therapy though does not take away the rsd physical pain can aid with the depression/anxiety and also help families to understand. I saw your other post as well about the detox. Can you ask your doctors what the long term plan would be and what types of other relief or treatments you could try especially if the pain gets to a bad state? You are in my thoughts.
