Thank you for the information - I'm going to see what we can do and get that chart.

I guess we worry even more as we know of a person (related to my brother in law) who had a back injury and the Dr's had him on hydrocodone for 3 years - The Dr up and dropped him and no more meds. He went through severe withdrawls and even had to go to treatment. Today he is an alcholic and had rarly drank before that.

The other thing is, is that hubby is just not a pill person - The less the better. His RSD in his leg was almost controllable without any "heavy" medications and we just want to be at that point again. Although I guess were in the fantasy mode with that - It took 5ish years to get to that point with his leg. This (in his arm) has only been going on for a little over a month........*sigh*
