Hi Mary, Yes, that is a good place to start. Where I live they also do pain management that way. Be sure you do your homework before you go so you will know what questions to ask. If you have just been diagnosed with rsd, usually they first try a combination of meds along with physical therapy. If that doesn't relieve the symptoms and stop the progression of the rsd thay usually will do a series of nerve blocks. See what this Dr. has to say and don't be afraid to ask him how many patients he has treated with rsd. Let me know how you make out. Jeannie
