I'm so glad to hear that the Suboxone helps the pain for you but I agree with what Diana said about the pity party quote being a bit unfair!!! NONE of us like being in this ammount of pain and i'm sure we would all do anything we can to try and stop it but for some people like me, NOTHING works!!!!!

I am 14 years old and have RSD in my left leg and both arms. I developed it when I was 12 years old after an ankle sprain and it spread to my arms within a matter of months. My doctor and myself have tried almost every painkiller but nothing has worked so far. Ketamine helps a little but it only dulls the pain for a little while - it never goes all together!!

My Doctor has told me that there isn't much else he can do for me in the way of pain relief. I'm not on any meds at the moment as none worked. It's hard living in such pain every day knowing that you can't do anything to relieve it but I try and not have pity parties though it is extremely hard at times and many others do too!!!!

I appreciate you suggesting the Suboxone but please realise that with RSD, what works for one person might not work for another and many people might have already tried it. NONE of us like living in this ammount of pain but for most of us, we haven't found anything that works!!!

I hope you continue getting relief and can lead a normal life!

Take care,
Alison.
