What other options have you been offered or discussed for a treatment plan? What do you want? Ketamine infusions may help you. Blocks may help you. If you have an extra couple thousand to spend, HBOT might be a good choice, etc. (Doubtful WC will pay for it.)

I have naut to spend. and I have dscussed hbot, he also said pain pump(surgery I wont agree) acs (again surgery, as well as a batery up my cooly, I wont agree) he also did a quck mention of amputation.. obviously I will not agree to lose a limb. he did the lumbar blocks.. (a lot) no help at all, I've also had sterid injections, lydicain, cortizonwe injections.. all no help some made it worse.
I presently have a tens unit.. I use for strict back injury as it does noting for the RSD. the PM wont discuss the creams for topical use, I tried aqua therapy till I could no longer afford it.( i think it was helping just keep cardio good)
also PT plus all these wonderfully awful drugs..
