I have RSD in both feet and now it spread to my hands and arms. I go to pain management and get injections. I also swim and lift weights. Pool therapy is the best. I go to DR. Schwartzman in Phila PA. he is well known nationally and internationally. Lidocaine infusions are supposed to be really helpful. The big problem is getting the insurance to pay for it, since it is considered in the experimental stage. Another DR. suggested Ketamine infusions, which I am seriously considering since I am out of work because I just had my leg reconstructed. My right leg is all metal from my knee up to my hip. I wake up in pain every day; but I try and keep a good attitude. I can't wait to go back to work, it takes my mind off of it. The big thing is to find a good DR. that knows about RSD and has some empathy, and really understands the disease.
