Glad you found Neruo Talk. A warm welcome to you. I have been here for about two years, and have met some really great people. I also have RSD in my foot, ankle, and calf. I have a lotion that really works, has five different compounds in it. It may be worth your time to ask your doctors about it. First ingrediant is Katemine. This blocks neuro pain. I cannot compair our different types of pain, I only know for my RSD this truely works, and has allowed me to drop some of my medications. It hurts to rub the stuff in for a minute, but it is worth the discomfort to have the relief afterwards. I can write out the total script and all ingredients if you are interested. I hope Neuro Talk and all the folks here make you feel at ease and welcome. ginnie
