Post again to the front page, asking for pain management in the houston area. Just in case people missed your post. I sure hope this next doctor helps. Steriod injections may be the most stupid thing I have ever heard of coming from your former doctor. Just what is that suppose to do?. Yes that was fraud of a kind. I wouldn't pay for the office call. Let them bill you for the next hundred years. He did not know anything about RSD. I am sorry this happened to you.
Right now I have a lidocane patch on my ankle. It numbs the area. Darn thing hurts pulling it off, and sleeping with bandage to keep it from coming off is annoying. Also have pain meds. Not strong, but enough to take the edge off. I do have stronger, and my doctor does listen to me. It hurts, I know, I am limping about good this morning.
Keep posting on main page and in the RSD forum. Hope you get more responses. Don't give up. ginnie
