Count your blessings. My wife who has RSD went 4 years without meds. She's had this condition 8 years. Hopefully your condition will stay as is or decrease, for many that is not the case.

GP.. hello..Keep Smilin... back here with you.... and can you believe.. I am still smilin?? Who ever in their right mind would have made up such a screen name??? GUILTY!! (and a little insane)...

Anyway..I want to shed some light on the subject of finding a Pain management Dr. just as Jim was eluding to..it is wonderful that you can tolerate Pt and such at this time...Continue doing the "hands" treatment on as long as you find relief at this time but the thought of having a PM or anethisologists still stands as one day you may need some more intense guidance and possibly meds, just as Jim's wife, 4 years no meds..4 years need meds..... Myself, I am not taking anything but not by choice, I have a ultimately sensitive tummy...so I chew on many bullets in a days time.. so use this time to hunt and pick for a good RSD knowledgeable Dr.... and as long as you can still get by on alternative care and when/if the day comes you need a new set of eyes..you'll have done your homework..not easy to find an RSD knowledgeable, then likeable Dr.... Take this time and let us know how you are doing!! We are family and a family who cares..a bunch!
