If you get me his state I will try to get more info for you..
Great response painman. He is in California and right now he is just plain scared and overwhelmed at the dx of RSD. I talked with him again today and encouraged him to find as best as possible a Doc that currently treats RSD. He also is tied to a certain Hospital etc. due to type of insurance. Thanks again for your concern and response.Anyone else out there with imput???
