Thanks you for the words and I understand what you are saying. I have done a butt load of research and I'm looking into the creams. But unfortunately other than rsd in my right hand/arm, I have osteoporosis in my r hand and a fake hamate hook that is constantly sore. I'm ok with being on opiates. Im just new to them. It's actually taking 3 days to clear this stuff through my insurance so this stuff must be no joke. But if it doesnt work I will just have to suck it up and go opiate free. I won't take short acting meds long term.

Thank you all and best wishes.
