tos8,

If I were you I would do my research and bring some informational material to leave with him. TOS has relationship to RSD/CRPS in that TOS can be instigator for same. I think I read something about this on Hooshmand's web site.

Also, if you have the records from prior doctors who have given RSD diagnosis these are crucial.

Why are you changing PMs - or have you had a PM for RSD? When/how were you diagnosed and what treatments have you had? All of this info will be helpful to your new PM not to throw you in the TOS "bucket".

I am aware of lidocaine and ketamine infusions for crps/rsd - protocols are readily available from web search - check rsd.org

Best of luck to you with new PM.
Love,
Jenny
