I was told RSD. Few years down the line they also said Dystonia. It has settled down. The nerve test showed problem in the feet. Had plantar F. surgery in Nov. So I told him that they hurt all the time, burn, sweat. stabbing pain near surgery. He asked if I had back trouble or pain down my leg. I said not really. I have burning in my thigh since the nerve test on right leg.
So he is sending me for epidural steroid injection. for my feet. Will this work since the nerve test showed I didn't have problems in my back it was just in my feet. He said I don't thing you have rsd. Please give me any advice. Then he said come back in 3 months. Nothing for the pain. I'm not a drug addict. I have been going with out pain meds since Jan. I only saved them for night time to try and calm my feet. I'm upset. I hate to waste good money if this is not the right test.  |
Wow, it's hard to say if it will work or not. I understand about the wasting of money. I feel like that is all I have been doing since I was told I have CRSP/RSD 7 months ago. Nothing seems to work.
I did numerous nervous system injections and all they did for my pain was give me pain in my back as well as my legs. Everyone is different though.
I know people that the injections have worked for.
I have gone all 7 months without any pain meds. It sucks that you have to worry about being labled as a drug addict, but I worry about the same thing. So I just deal with the pain everyday. Although it's getting more and more difficult to just deal with lately.
I guess that is why we have a place like this where we can help and support each other. Good luck with your procedures and I hope whatever it is, is taken care of quickly.
