I go to Dr. Young in Ukiah. I'm about an hour and a half north of the bay area. He has me in PT (who also does biofeedback), I see a psych, cortisone shots, lidoderm patches, I have nerve stimulating gloves, I still see my ortho who x rays my hand because I have bone thinning. The only thing I havent done is nerve blocks. I switched from I take 300x3 a day but I heard "therapeutic" dose is in the thousands of mg.

Everyone has their hits and misses and every doc will have their recipes for rsd. Thats the first obstacle is finding an appropriate doctor. Honestly, out of all the therapies ive done, the only thing constant in relieving the pain is the medication. I sob at the fact. When doctors tell me I have a chronic condition that is also progressive, what do I do? Adjust? The only thing keeping me on my feet and dulls that pain is meds. I was diagnosed late so they want aggressive treatment.

I'm sorry for going on, it turned into a long thing. I just hope you find what works for you.


Take care and best wishes.
