They told me the RSD is full body, inside and out I've had hundreds of nerve blocks ,3 sympathectomies, TOS and just about everything else, to a point that my neurologist told me I am to be palliative care only,nothing invasive. Well the chamber is not invasive. How does it work? And does it work or help? Thanks for any responses in advance. I look forward to hearing all about it. Still in pain. Wendy
Wendy..
I a msorry for your advanced RSD..I know Loretta is well versed and waiting for the HBOT intervention... My Dr. here at home mentioned it to me and she ran right out to call our local medical center to ask if I would be a candidate..but she told me unfortuantely..I am not..reason being my RSD is too advanced, 3 yrs. into RSD, whole body plus internal... so I can't have it...I hope others are able to help you more...have a great day,

Kathy
