Thank God my Chiro recognized it, and sent me to Dr S, in Philly. Got me in quick, too.

This is YOUR Body, YOUR Life!
If this (doctor) were say, a friend, you'd "defriend" him quickly!
Don't be afraid to do that now, he's not got your best interest at heart, I don't it's fear of anything, other than just plain ignorance!

Your PM doc should know a good Neuro for you!

Be Well!

RN,
I had a 10 day, 24/7 Lidocaine infusion. It worked but, not so much that I'd bother again...
I'm kind of far gone having had this since '83. Had the Lidocaine in 2001.

I see his ex partner, (and still good friend) Dr.Knobler now in Fort Washington, PA. I've know them both since about 89-90, and they're both great doctors for rsd!

Hope you do well!
(I truly do think it's time for you to move on from the Ortho, and on to a knowledgeable Neuro)~!

Blessings to you, we're all here for you!
