the "neck thing" sounds like the scalenes spasming out of control
I hear your frustration and need of letting go of the numbness and pain. Canada (is that where you are?) docs do use botox. Should be used with steroids and lidocaine to calm them down. As for the numbness, the CRPS is unrelenting, unforgiving. 12 years and Im still looking for answers.
Keep strong

I didn't understand the diazepam ,how does it help the nerve damage in my case anyway?
Thks ginger for the viagra comment, I still think the viagra irritated my nerves which refueled the numbness again, I just don't know how it had an effect.
It is true that these doctors do not listen,I almost have to repeat myself and get very serious with him to listen.They think it is alll in our heads or we are faking .
I'll look into that CRPS/RSDS ,but presently in Canada there are no tests being done unless that has changed.
Right now my side of neck is swollen and I have some finger numbness, I wish that neck thing would go away and never come back.
