Default New diagnosis... And on it goes....

So, I'm thinking I belong to way too many forums on this site, first the spinal forum (ACDF C5,C6,C7), then the chronic pain for neuropathy, just had my six week post op for my second surgery on my ulnar nerve (elbow to hand), and today I was listing off my symptoms to my neurosurgeon, trying to explain "I'm just not getting better" and he diagnoses me with RSD.

So here I am again looking for more information on the latest diagnosis.

I know very little about RSD, but I did look up a little and the symptoms match my burning pain exactly.

My question to any out there who have been dealing with this, besides the obvious pain meds and nerve meds, which I am on, what have you found that helps reduce the pain and inflammation? I use ice packs constantly, and they do give some relief, what else works?

What supplements are helpful? Diet? Tips or dos and don'ts?

Any information would be helpful.

thank you!
Cathie
