Hi Susan,

Im sorry that you are feeling so crappy, but know how it is!!! unfortunetly! Have they done any blocks for you?? Vicoden wont touch RSD pain!! need something lot stronger. Also are you taking neurontin?? or any seizure type drug. these help with the RSD pain and help with the sensitvity. When my RSD flares up to a point that i want to cut my foot and leg off myself, i use epson salt soaks!! this also helps with the sensitivity and also takes some of the swelling down!! Heating pads are also really good... i would ask your docs for stronger meds.. vicodin wont touch this and is prob like taking candy for you.. you dont feel any different when taking it!! Also Baclofen has saved me from the muscle spasms and the pain too!! might want to ask abou tthat!!

Hope its helps!!
AMber
