What's that mean? Exactly? You were "cured", then, it happened again?
How soon, how long were you cured for? (Two questions).

This is a very complicated issue, and, I simply cannot get into the "Welcome aboard" type posts.
If I am to be of help.
I need to know some facts.
Please, give them?
(Yes, You ARE at the right place, but, we need facts)!

How long after you were "Altogether cured", did the second incident, and onset (again two questions), happen? I'm not "drilling" you, but you'd better be prepared to answer this to your doctor!

I'd bet, that you Never were "cured" the first time.
The second injury just brought it to the fore, again.

If that can make sense for you.

Please, believe me,
I know what a second injury can do.
Nobody can choose their "victim"...

And, that's why us with rsd, must be so careful.

Please, give us more details?

I'd love to help!

PM me, if you wish.....

I guess it was more of a remission than cure. I had 3-4 sympathetic blocks the first time and then 15 months later had another injury. I was really pain free for 15 months. This time the pain is worse and in 2 legs instead of 1. I have had 5 blocks and they are considering a spinal cord stimulator and/or epidural block. I have excellent doctors and care. I also have lower back pain and neck pain and wonder if they are related. i really only take about 2 pain pills per day and exercise every day. Any suggestions?
