Did the HBOT work for you.

I can't really say that it did or didn't help. There were so many things going on with my body at that time and the primary reason I was given the opportunity to do the HBOT was because of the severe tinnitus caused from the pamidronate. I was also put on the oral steroids. I frequently felt deep bone pain in my rsd leg as we were descending in the chamber and I would suffer vertigo after the dives were finished, probably something to do with the inner ear damage caused by the pamidronate. After the 20 sessions were said and done everything with my RSD did seem to calm down, but it was during the summer time and warmer weather does seem to help me too. It was a great summer, one I'll always remember because it was the year I got married.
The other question that needs to be answered but one that I can't is did the pamidronate do what it was supposed to do, which was meant to help relieve me from the deep bone pain.
Like I said I had a good reprieve that summer and sailed through my wedding and honeymoon in fairly good shape.
I would do the HBOT again if I had the opportunity.
Personally I think HBOT is worth while to see if its right for you.
Wishing you well.
