I am new to the forum and share all of your agony. I had my left foot crushed 8 years ago and have had 6 surgeries to fusion my foot. They didn't catch the RSD in time and is now full blown. I take topomax, lexapro, klonapin,dilaudid. I have an intrathecal pump with dilaudid and bupravaine that I get an hourly dose. It is implanted in the left side of my abdomen. I walk with a cane from so much pain. I just had surgery in March because a screw broke and a part of my foot was broke again. Now because every invasion causes RSD to worsen the allodynia is really bad and so is the burning. I feel terrible for Sarah because the worse think for RSD is immobility. You are suppose to do some kind of exercise to help your extremity from contracture and burning. I wish everyone the best and god bless. Julie
