Do you feel comfortable with the doctor who is doing the scs and does he or she treat a lot of rsd patients? I think that is very key.
Welcome to the forum by the way though sorry you are facing this

Hi Daniella, thanks for your reply. Yes I have had 6 opeations on my foot, I have also tried numerous drug trials and had Intravenous guanethidine blocks and sympathetic nerve blocks. These helped a little but only for a very short time (up to an hour) and the relief wasn't anywhere near good enough to continue having them done. I'm kind of at the end of the line now, and really hoping this will help.
I'm being seen by a doctor in the Walton Centre Liverpool, he is a senior lecturer in pain medicine and seems to really know his stuff
Thanks again for your time
