However two months later everything has stalled and they are unsure what the next step they should take is going to be. I have been on medications from the start, and they have tried the nerve blocks with no success. I am really considering amputaion to get rid of the nightmare, am I wrong in thnking this way? Or do I stay the course of pain and misery and medication? I am lost and lossing hope and so is my family who is also struggling in this nightmare with me.

I am sorry that you have been suffering with RSD for so long. I was diagnosed with RSD after my 3rd back surgery, 3 years ago. I have absolutely no feeling in my left leg, but the pain on the inside is horrible. I am now getting the pains in my right foot and the neurosurgeon told me last week that the RSD is starting to attck my body! I completely understand when you say you want to have amputation because there are times when I tell my husband I just want to cut off my leg!!! I am glad that I found other people to talk to about this, because when talking with people suffering with the disease, I know they understand what I'm going through.
