Thanks everyone for the encouragement. It's hard with all that pain as everyone here is well aware. Right now I just have the PM and a neurologist.
I am thinking about looking for a physiatrist.

I am changing physical therapists. I have an appointment on Monday with a place that has a dedicated therapy pool which is heated to 92 degrees. They told me they have treated patients with RSD. I guess that doesn't really mean they specialize in RSD.

SandyRI My foot always hurts worse after pt and sometimes I think it does more harm than good.

I have had 3 LSB those are the only injections that I have had. I do take neurontin, muscle relaxers, pain meds, zanax and naproxen. I am not sure how to find RSD specialists in my area. I have checked on the internet but that did not work. I live in an area that has medical expertise so one would think I could find a specialist or two.

daniella, looking back, I agree with you, I believe that the air boot made my foot worse before and after the surgery.

birchlake I thought about going to a chiropractor. I have been to one in the past but none in the area in which I live now. I was looking up chiropractors that do Active Release Therapy and one was listed that also specialized in nerve entrapments. But they did not take my insurance.

painfull I tried accupuncture my foot did not like it. I think it was the specific kind he did though. Don't have the courage at this time to try again.

Lorraine Shade I hear, read really, that your doctor is the specialist for RSD.
