Thank you Daniella and Kathy,
I truly appreciate your honesty. Today for me has been a bad day and I am sorry if messages bring anyone down.
I love my PM doctor. I have been to what I considered the best at Vanderbilt University and they did not help me like he has. He has at least provided some relief.
Yesterday we tried something new, peripheral nerve blocks. I had 3 injections near and at the elbow, into the median, ulnar and radial. My hand and forearm were numb for the most part of the day (which was nice), then about 8 pm I noticed that I had not had any spasms in my hand. I was very excited that finally something was working. I was wrong. I woke up at midnight with pain like before I even started the meds. I don't know what triggered it to be this bad again. Was it because the doctor had to touch my arm? Anyway, I should have never gotten my hopes up, I should know better by now.
I read this study done on RSD and peripheral nerve blocks and the results seemed so great on everyone. If only!
