Please forgive me if I ask a question that is answered in your post but I don't know how to find it while I'm replying and my memory is crap thanks to all me meds. Do you have an actual diagnosis? For CRPS/RSD have you tried Lyrica daily, Cymbalta, or Nortiptlyne for pain / burning or Gabapentin for burning ( I love mine). The Cymbalta and Nortriptlyne are for pain and depression. PLEASE don't feel alone there are so many of us who suffer with you every hour of every day. Sending you wishes for a single moment of peace  Corey |
Hello Corey, thank you for the response. I have 2 bulging discs, bone spurs and cervical stenosis.. that is the only diagnosis I've been given. I've seen 8 drs in the last year.. Was told by 1 that he could step outside his office and find 100 people with the same problems and them not have the pain that I have. He told me I needed to go home, and learn to deal with it .
The dr I am seeing now who did the rhizotomy put me on Cymbalta and Lyrica in October. I can tell the difference in my depression level alot, but still am not where I want to be. So sorry for your pain. This isn't a something I would wish on anyone. Thank you again for your response.
Rhonda
