First of all, I think we all have had the pity-pot securely fastened to our tushies from time to time. It isn't fair; you did nothing to deserve it, and it does suck. Having said that, there are ways to take some control. The stimulator worked for me for about 6 months for me. RSD is really case by case and we are all different in our needs. But what I needed the most was support. This disease can make you feel alone. I hope you have good folks around you. Meditation is also key to keep stress and pain down. As for the doctor and him wanting to do more. Follow your gut and do your research. Hope this helps.

He told me we can do Spinal Cord stimulator and honestly Im still new to RSD and I really am Afraid to even consider that now. I know theres so many other treatments out there.
