Hi
When I saw a pain doctor at Cleveland Clinic in OH I was suggested the tunneled epidural catheter for around 3 weeks too. The 3 week was to put me in PT which that in turn was supposed to help the RSD. I did not do it though. One I had not heard of many doing it other then people who go to Cleveland Clinic and the ones who did seemed to have problems with the catheter. Of course everyone is different. I see you are in MI? That is where I am from in Oakland County. I dont live there now but I could suggest a pain doc if you want. I have seen a few and though dont live in MI anymore one there I would suggest over ones I saw at Cleveland Clinic or like at UCLA. Anyhow good luck in what you decide.
