I agree with deb no procedure is done to me of any kind without being an anestesologist. I see a neuro but he does more testing and rx meds. As for not being on the area. My rsd pain on the limb part is my inner ankle/foot/calf but when I got my reflexes done and they hit my knee I had horrible inner ankle pain and had to take as needed meds which still did not take the flare away. Nerves are connected. I was suggested acupuncture and they stated they could do it in non rsd area but I still would not. Also I don't like docs who sell items.He can suggest things to me but I am not happy when he wants me to purchase items from him. Is the doc a doc or a salesman. It is not right to me.
To get a good doc I would call a major hospital in your area in their pain clinic dept and explain you have rsd and would like to set up an apt with a pain/anesetesolgist who deals with rsd a lot. I found my best doc even better then the known rsd docs doing that.
