Giving a little update. I finally got the approval from the workers compensation for my back. My back is really bad, its in the lower right side. And when you touch it lightly it really hurts, I asked my sister to check my back to see if theres any Marks like the ones on my leg and she told me she saw one. So Im really starting to believe that the RSD did spread to my back. I made the MRI appointment for Friday. So wish me luck on that.

My sleeping patters have been Horrible, I slept 3 hrs one night and i seen to keep waking up in middle of night in pain. One night was so bad that I felt like my whole Right side of my back had the Tingling, Fall asleep feeling. And honestly, before I felt like its starting to go into my Arm. Has this happened to anyone. I don't want to think worse case that it has completely spread within 3 months. Any advice? I changed my Anti-inflammatory and the Pain mgmt doctor doesnt want to do any other treatment until they clear my back for a Pinch nerve, disc disease or hernated Disc.

OH one night I tried using the LIDODERm patch on my back and Honestly I think it brought on the RSD cause Once I pulled it off the Rsd simmered. Ughhh so stressful.
Lododerm patches caused a severe spread for me. Catra is so right, it does take lots of trial and error. I can see why your doctor wants to rule out other issues with you back but maybe he needs to be addressing your sleep issues which are clearly related to CRPS. It is so much easier to cope when you can sleep.
