Hi Mike,
I checked back to the post of November!! There it was: lumbar blocks with botullinum toxin to treat RSD!
I probably didn't retain it because back in November, the treatment hadn't been suggested as yet...

I also probably didn't retain it, because things are slipping through my brain like a sieve and disappearing...

Fear not, you probably didn't recall it as you have posted so much information for all of us, it's hard for your head to keep a current and updated file!!

I printed the information and will review it in detail before my appointment on Friday...At this point I doubt that I would be a candidate, as the lumbar block they gave me a couple of weeks ago with just bupivacaine and clonidine did't really have an effect...in fact, it seem to flare and stir things up. Therefore, I couldn't provide a baseline of relief to compare a subsequent block with BTA..
This will be an interesting week...

Sandy:
I actually have a couple of flector patches that my foot doc had given me that have not yet expired...I hadn't tried them, as I was using the lidocain patches ..I'll try one tomorrow..thanks for the recommentations, and I will bring them up on Friday..
Please let us know how your Tuesday appointment goes..I will be thinking of you!


Hope4thebest xoxo
