I would ask for these before any surgery, and use them for
at least 2 weeks or more to see if they can turn that nerve off.
If you have beginning RSD...you need special treatment.
I'd post on our RSD forum...as needles and surgery can make RSD worse in some people.

There have been some posts about venipunctures causing this on that forum. Do a search using "venipuncture" as a keyword. |
Its called CRPS now or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. And that is what I've been diagnosed with. Also it was most likely from the tourniquet as well as the venipuncture....i will try there but my pain is SOOOO OUT OF CONTROL RIGHT NOW! I am doing all i can not to cry! my doctors office said the soonest they can see me is tuesday....what can I do? I don;t want to go to ER or Urgent care and be turned away. I've heard that they wont treat CRPS or Chronic pain conditions or give pain killers for it....what can I do I seriously can NOT take this. My pain level is probably about a 9 right now!
