I have had RSD since a car accident in sept. '06. The doc's were in complete denial. My PT and Chiro are the ones who found it and yet the PM doc still did not beleave it. I had an IME done for the insurance company done in Jan.'07. He said it was RSD, then the PM doc decided to send me to a spine specialist for the nerve blocks. I have it in the whole left upper extremity, PT made it worse. As far as the nerve blocks the first one lasted 3 days was wonderful, but when it wore off, I was not ready for that, 2 days totally down. The next 2 did nothing except make the pain worse.
any advice all the nerve meds made me sick.
