hijaking this post for LindKaye. I live in the Seattle area and see Core Injury Management. They respect RSD and understand it. I felt like I was so being heard with Dr. Hayes and wonderful women Dr. She has a PA now and he is just as great. The PA just gave me a referral to Rehab for RSD it is located on Aurora Ave. North and work with Virginia Mason anestethioligist group. It is an intensive 4 week Rehab program. You go everday for the first two weeks. They hook you up to a pain pump and your have pain meds while you are doing OT and PT. They have a psych that works with you and they have mirror therapy. After the initial work out you continue to go. I have to put this on the back burner because of my job but plan on calling them. If you are looking for a good pain Dr. Core Injury is located near IKEA in Renton.

I too have tried numerous blocks, PT, surgeries, etc but not making any progress. I would really appreciate - thanks. I have not found any specialist in the NW so far.
RSDer - Thanks for sharing the good news. Progress like yours gives us that are "dog paddling" hope!
