First of all msjanice12, welcome to NT. Second, sorry to hear of the problems you are having.
I have to tell you that my RSD began in the right side of my face. I bit a rock that was in my food in a restaurant. I lost my three back bottom teeth after having root canals that didn't work and then extractions. I then got implants and a bridge. The pain never went away until I found (with the help of my dentist) the doctors to diagnose and treat me for RSD. My pain was along my jawline and in my cheek area. They gave me stellate ganglion nerve blocks and got things under control. This was back in 1991/1992.
In 2009, I hurt my right hand and developed RSD there. It has since spread from there to my left hand, arm and leg. Blocks and medication didn't help me this time around (got two spinal cord stimulators implanted in 2011).
The important thing is to find the right doctor(s), which is very difficult. Be persistent and don't give up.
All the best,
Nanc
