Welcome. I am so sorry to hear about what you have been going through. RSD is just such a horrible thing and when you have not been able to get treatments that help get the pain under control it is just a never ending cycle of badness.

Other than the blocks...what other things have you tried? Have you done physical therapy? What sorts of medications have you tried and why does work limit your ability to take them...is it because it affects your ability to function? How about heat therapies or a TENS unit? The Hooshmand 4 F's diet? There are lots of little things that many of us use to help us overcome this thing and not let it ruin our lives. I've gotten so many good suggestions from people on here (even little things like using oven mitts to get things out of the freezer so I don't hurt my hands with the cold).

This is really a great resource and there are lots of supportive people here whether you have questions or just need to vent.

Good luck and I really hope that you are able to get some relief soon.
