Hi No I did not mean Rush as the teaching hospital. I meant a major hospital in your area that may be a teaching hospital because from what I read here they are more up to date on treatments. Of course you would not have the student but the doctor who deals with RSD. I did the pain program well part of it at Cleveland Clinic and saw 2 pain docs there and have mixed feelings but like I said the girl I know had good results. I was also going to try to do hbot but then decided to wait. My thought for the teaching hospital was just because I saw so many doctors for ex one I saw on Discovery channel who helped this lady with rsd so I went to see him to be let down. The one at the teaching hospital I found really spent time,took my concerns into account,looked outside the box and spent time where as like at CC it was very rushed and there was not a lot of options. Again I am not saying you should not go to CC since like sandy said her d had a good experience just my thoughts. Hang in there.
