Thank you for all the advice and experiences, everyone. I really appreciate it.

I am going to talk to my Dr about it, and from there maybe I'll get an MRI or such done (just to be sure it isn't just the RSD).

Ada, I am putting the lidocaine patches on my back- they help a little. But, sometimes this RSD pain is so bad that there is not much anything does for me. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks, Frogga! ((hugs)) I am so utterly thankful for you all here... it is one place where I can come and know I am understood completely (sadly), and I want you all to know how much you mean to me. Thank you so much.
