Not all calcium channel blockers cause the same problems to the same degree. Some people don't get any edema from them.
Verapamil causes the most constipation of those in that family.
Besides, the treatment for RSD is not forever, as I understand it.
RSD is so terrible I think you'd do just about anything legitimate to reverse it.
I took Procardia for a while and also Cardizem, no edema.(for blood pressure)
But Norvasc was terrible in that regard for me.
People react differently to vasodilation. RSD is a locally vasoconstrictive condition, and vasodilators may help it.
The edema, Bruegger, you are having, combining Neurontin with verapamil, may be much more noticeable because of the Neurontin.
Neurontin causes swelling in many patients.
