Hi, my name is Sherry and I have RSD for 4 years now. I have had 6 surgerys in all including a spinal stimulator placed. I have found that soft things are the best!! My doc has me on Methadone, Roxicodone, and topamax. These drugs do a little to touch the pain, I'm usually at a 7 on the pain scale. You just have to keep changeing things up, because staying on one thing to long will only get your body used to it and then it no longer works. Warm baths are my friend when the pain starts getting really bad. I have been trying to use my arm more often, remember the saying You don't use it, you will lose it!! Even if the pain if there you have to keep going, you do not want the muscles to waist away. I hope some of this has helped you.
