I was on Dilaudid when I was first diagnosed, but my neurologist and PM conflicted on it. It worked well, but I have been switched back and forth between so many meds in the past year, the only thing I am taking for pain is vicaprofen. I have dual diagnosis pf RSD and I was born with Cerebral Palsy. I have always had some type of pain throughout my whole life, so they haven't come up with a "cocktail" that is right for me. I just past my 1 year anniversary with RSD and I have had little relief.
