But the problem with wearing the boot,with a rsd patient , is the inactivity can make the rsd worse therefore we have a catch 22.........My hope is in God

The doctor I am talking with does not use surgery, especially since I do not have nerve entrapment or didnt, she uses injections of provicaine around the orginal injury site, actually directly into the scar. the belief is if these nerves are rewired the rest of the bodys nervous system will follow. It sounds so simple, the only thing holding me back is , well two things, the pain of the procedure, and the pain that could follow the procedure. I belivie there is a chance it could make things much worse for me if thats possible. this doctor is so confident and keeps asking" if youd do the coma , Why wouldn't's you try something as simple as this?" It just that question she keeps posing that makes me hesitate. If she doesnt understand what can happen if this damages the nerves further and really fires them up again precoma statue- it worries me. thank you for adding to this, Im just very nervous. it seems like out of all of us someone else would have heard of this or tried it.Thank you again and God bless, cz
