I need some help. I saw my pm doc on Monday and he wants to refer me to a doctor that specializes in CRPS due to the rapid spreading of the disorder. He referred me to Dr. Schwartman in Philadelphia who can't see me until 2011. Does anyone have any suggestions for another Dr. that specializes in CRPS. I will travel almost anywhere to stop this from spreading.

I have been on crutches since Jan and can't go back to work since I am a chef.

Any ideas would be appreciated immensely. Thanks

Dr Schwartzman diagnosed me, and if you make an appointment, you're sure to get in sooner, because of cancellations. But, not as soon as you want.

My doc, was his partner @Jefferson for many years. They have different approaches. Dr S is more aggressive. He likes the Ketamine Coma, and like that, if you want it, Dr Knobler will get you in.
Dr Knobler specializes in RSD, and MS. He knows them well, and will get you out of pain. (Understand, when I say out of pain, it doesn't mean eliminate it, that can't be done) He'll manage it for you. and Make your life bearable!

Dr Knobler.
He's in Fort Washington, PA. Just off the turnpike, west of Philly about 20 minutes.

Here's his # 215. 643. 9045

You may use my name,
Pete Woj. (They call me Pete Wojo, or, whatever they feel like that day). My last name is very long and polish.

Really good, good people, and Dr Knobler is kind and compassionate.

As far as I know, he takes no insurance.

I've sent many people to him, and they all love him!
I've been with him for almost 20 years!

Any questions, PM me.

Pete

Hi, Several have commented on the Cleveland Clinic, but I don't remember names of Drs. The RSDSA held their annual spring meeting here in Scottsdale AZ. I know there are two Drs. at the Pain Management Center that treat RSD. I can get their names and numbers if you want to come to AZ. There are some on this forum that are treated in California. If you tell us the state you are in some may come forward with Drs. Names. My Dr. isn't taking new patients and doesn't take insurance, but has built two new clinics that have HBOT in them. I am going to go thru that treatment. Hope you get some help soon. Take care, loretta
