You have been fighting this thing for quite some time. 2009. Sorry to say, there is really no cut-n-dry answer or drug therapy. There are many drugs, but they seem to be different for each person. As far as 'really working,' they help but not completely. The only drug that has shown a glimmer of hope is Ketamine. Even that though does not work for everybody. There are some people that have achieved remission. I believe that is largely attributed to a combination of therapies including much physical therapy. The key though seems to be catching the CRPS/RSD in its early stages. What has your pain management Doctor prescribed for you?

I hope you find relief from your pain soon.

After surgery did I develop the RSD. I am on pain meds but that doesn't work very well along with my other meds for the condition. Can anyone give me some advise on what really works for these conditions?
