Dr should have to try it before prescribing it. Ive started back on DMSO 70% in roll on applicator and have already bagan to see change in pain level. Try this. It works and only side effect is bad taste in your mouth for alittle while. Its pretty inexpensive and can be bought at any health food store. Google research, there is quite a bit. Hope this helps someone.

Trish,
Lyrica is def not my friend...I hallucinate with it, drool and cannot walk straight..thanks for the input..there are so many drugs that I am allergic to.... it's been a horrible experience.

Dubious, About the SGB. My Dr. explained to me that the blocks are dangerous/risky so unless you get a lot pain relief they are not worth it. I had 4 or 5 and by the last couple i had minimal to no relief. With no relief and RSD spreading i have sympathetic independent pain which doesnt respond to the block. momof4
