Well, she saw an associate instead who said we don't do meds, we do stimulators. So, here we go again. I guess everyone can tell I dread this.
The big question is, does anyone know of a good RSD doctor of any field around the Washington DC area who isn't into invasive treatment for a RSD patient of 10 years? Thanks a bunch for any replies.

Hi Jim,
I recommend a consultation with Dr. Damian Freas of Advanced pain management in Annapolis Maryland. I have been seeing him for almost a year and can guarantee you that your wife will not be a CRPS patient, but an individual with CRPS. You and your wife will be partners in the development of her treatment plan. Given the spreads of CRPS I have had in a rather short period of time, Dr. Freas ordered a virtual colonoscopy rather than the standard invasive colonoscopy. He is very attuned to weighing th risks of any invasive procedures.
A bit farther away from you is Dr. Robert Schwartzman in Philadelphia. (His wait list however is quite long.)
Hope this helps!
Teri
