Then to talk about law suits when everyone should be open to giving back feedback both negative and positive is insane. I would think there is some medical board one could file a complaint
With RSD it is important to keep stress down. Which is like impossible but in ways you can anyhow. This just adds stress. Have you looked at other options for pain relief? Ketamine infusions,different meds,some other alternative like HBOT? Has you r husband seen a pain doctor? Is he on meds? Trust me i have times I beg to die from pain too and I know the heart break that has on my family. I know it must be hard for you to watch your husband as well. People do get to a better place with RSD but it takes finding the right treatment. Everyone is different so what impacts one may not anohter. I am very sensitive to weather as well so can relate as I sit hear swelling with high pain from humid/storms.
If I can help in any way I am an email away. Are you in the US?

Please let me stress one thing here this Dr Rhodes guy was NOT the one who we got the machine from, we purchased it with from the company who makes or at least retails them. To have seen this Dr Rhodes guy it was goin' to cost us well over $10,000.00US & we just didn't have that kind of money we used every dime we had just to purchase the machine at $4,000.00US & the pads alone are not cheap & I know of nowhere else that sells them apart from the company who makes them, & if they did they would more than likely cost a whole bunch more.
My significant other has tried virtually everything available to him, bar the Ketamine Infusions, & pain infusion pump, & of course the Ketamine Coma procedure which is out of reach financially, or he would even take that risk even though the stakes are high, the pain infusion trail he had he had a bad reaction to where once it wore off unlike the slow release morphine he takes now, left no residue so when the pain kicked back in it did so very swiftly & violently. He was having a lot of nightmares too of things that are better left buried, it made him feel like something was eating his flesh alive, & gave him intense anxiety attacks, the sweats & the shakes.
He has seen many pain doctors & this last one told him that liquid morphine is NOT addictive if that's the case then why is it NOT available to just anyone.Why are there so many addicts the world over if it is so harmless. All in all we are getting nowhere fast.
