We just got back today from Dallas having spent all week getting my daughter IV treatments of ketamine and lidocaine to take down her pain. She is doing much better now. Of course her pain is still there but not near as bad as it has been. This doctor is amazing but he is so far from us now that we have moved. We just hate to switch. We have been dealing with this illness for 3 1/2 years now so while I am new to this site I am not new to RSD. Sadly. Thanks for your encouragement and welcome. By the way, the doc says its fine to use the TENS unit. They have used it on her in the hospital many times but I never pain attention to where they put the leads. That's all I was looking for as far as lead placement. I'm sorry if anyone got the wrong idea. No intention of doing anything to aggravate her condition further that's for certain! It's good to be home now. Let's just hope her pain relief continues for a long time!
