I am really sorry for the loss of your home and pets plus the rsd pain condition. You are in my thoughts and I hope better times are ahead.
I am not familiar with the treatment your doctor wants to do on Tues. When my condition started pre rsd dx I was out in air boot. When I was dx with rsd and pn they had me get out of the boot. Because my foot/ankle had been stuck in one place I lost range of motion and from the pain could not move it. I did go to a pain program at Cleveland Clinic but due to my pain level only made it through a few days. What medications are you on? I did not do this procedure but at the time I could not move very much they wanted to implant a tunneled epidural catheter. I am not sure if there is similar for the arms. Anyhow the reason for this was to give meds and a numbing agent to allow me to go to PT. Then the catheter is taken out and you are to do pt on your own. I am not saying this is the right treatment for you but just some thoughts. Also what about ketamine infusions?I agree about getting another opinion? Does your current doctor deal with rsd a lot? I have been surprised since I am all about extra opinions before I do treatments because I had mistakes made in the past how the treatment of rsd can vary from doctor to doctor. Ok sorry to go on. You are in my thoughts and hope you feel better
