I have a appt with dr on Thursday to check scs and I want to talk with him about options for break thru pain, I have oxy at home but do not want to go to that resort.
Any suggestions you have would be appreciated, I figure if I go in knowing some options the better for me. My CRPS is left leg and foot.
Thanks, kim

I have learned both from being a long time nurse and a RSD sufferer that pain is nasty and if you let it get the upper hand it will be VERY MEAN! Since you have the oxy USE THE OXY! Take it as directed only for the time you need it. You have it for such pain flares. Oxy is not evil unless you abuse it.
Currently I have my SCS, Lidoderm patches, Motrin and Lortab. I have lost control but will soon have things under control
