Thanks for all the info and replys.
Alan is not a candidate for PT at this time. He has no ROM with his left arm and it hurts too bad when he moves it. The only way he can get any relief is to hold it very still and have it propped on a pillow.
We already have a lawyer - but we hired her before the RSD showed up. She says she has exp. with RSD, but I really don't think she has. I am the one always telling her what she should do and what to ask for, etc. We can't get rid of her because we would have to pay her. I told her today that we are really not convinced that we want hs SCS, and asked her to look into the Ketamine.
Thanks for the info on the clonidine. It doesnt look like WC is going to approve the patches. So at this time, itis Methadone and Lyrica. Some help, but not any better than vicodin, (maybe bot as good), at this time.
