I was diagnosed with RSD 2 months ago after a 5 level Lumbar Laminectomy for Spinal Stenosis. My surgeon dismissed me saying his surgery was successful. A Neurologist, who diagnosed me, and a Neurosurgeon, who told me I have Chronic Pain, also dismissed me, sending me to Pain management and PT.

I'm on Lyrica, Kadian and Percocet. Tried PT. They did desensitizing work on my thigh, some TENS, muscle massaging, and stretching for my quads and hamstrings. None of this worked. I couldnt even walk out of the office. I was in more pain and had problems walking after each session.

All I hear on this forum is PT - what works? Do you go to therapists who are specialiasts? I am at a lost. I have been out of work for 3 months since my surgery, and can only work from home. I NEED TO GET ON WITH MY LIFE.
