I have tried to get a diagnosis form 4 doctors to guide me as to whether my RSD is sympathetic maintained pain or sympathetic independent pain...No answer yet!
I know that if it is sympathetically maintained that the pain is due to the involvement of the sympathetic nerve.. If it is sympathetically independent pain, does that mean the sympathetic nerve is NOT involved at all and the sympathetic blocks are a waste of time? Is it 'better' to be SMP or SIP?? Is the RSD beyond help if it is sympathetically independent? Does this mean it is stuck in a permanently short-circuited pattern and in the central nervous system and brain? OMG..  How are the two distinguished and diagnosed.. Blocks simply don't help anymore! Thanks for any info! I am up waaay too late again  I hope your nite was comfortable and restful Hugs from Hope4thebest  xoxox
