You know my pain doctor was talking about what pain level becomes tolerable to people and it varies for everyone. I think a key is finding the right treatment for you which may be different from others on this board. With the proper treatment I think the rsd can get to a better place but of course there are a lot of trial and errors. I have had a couple less invasive procedures before I was going to get the scs that made me worse so why I have not done the scs. I am sorry that you had to face that. Are you on any meds or other treatments now as the spring is a long time away? Also I know apts have long wait lists but like when I went to Cleveland Clinic I got in months in advance by calling every day for a cancelation.
Bassman that is interesting about small things not causing you pain. See when I hit myself I feel so sensitive but obviously not like the rsd pain. I think for me I am so protective of my body and I mean the non rsd parts that when I do something different it feels like strain or more sore if that makes sense.
Feel better all and lets keep to hope.
