I am on Methadone and finally had to take some this afternoon and put on a Lidocaine patch. My RSD was acting up yesterday in my arm and hand and right side and I put off taking any meds but today it was coming out in my left leg and foot so I had to give in and take my Methadone. I love it. I only take half of a 5 mg. but it helps a lot.

As far as the SCS, others on here will tell you their story of them and how they are helping so you will get an ideal about them. I know of 3 people around here that have had them and they are now off or out. They caused spread in all 3 of them.

I also get Lidocaine injections. I have for several years and they do help. It might take more then one but they sure worked a miracle on me.

I have been in remission for quite some time but the change in the weather or overdoing things brings mine out.

I am sorry you are having to go through this but you have come to a good place for support and lots of knowledge.

Welcome,

Ada
