Hi Jenn,

I live in SW Ohio (I'm a buckeye fan O H I O Go Bucks!). Now down to the RSD business. I'm sorry you have a need for NT but I'm glad you found us.

I have read good comments on here about Dr. Hicks at the Cleveland Clinic. I have not personally been to see him. I have been to see an RSD specialist in Philly Dr. Schwartzman. Follow Loretta's advice and check the rsds.org and do your zip code. The RSDS association sponors the site. Once you check it out you will find all kinds of helpful information on the condition.

Don't get discouraged in your quest for a doctor. RSD doesn't manifest it's self in any two people the same way. Because of this Western Medicine doesn't really understand the condition. Some doctors are intimidated by what they don't understand. Doctors are in the business to help people get better and this complex condition is as frustrating for some doctors as it is for us. This condition is not well understood by all medical professionals and finding the right doctors requires preserverance by us RSD'ers.
I have been DX for 9 years it took me some time to find the right doctors. I have a pain management doctor, pain management phsycologist, chiropractor and a family doctor (he did his intern ship with Dr. S in Philly). I use Dr. Schwartzman the RSD doc. in Philly when I need advice for treatments here in OH.
You have come to the right place for solid good advice. I wish you all the best in your quest for a doctor. PM me if you would like to talk.

Take care,
Sherrie
