BB,
Thanks for the info about the docs in Eastern PA. I am going to have to change my signature as I found a PM Doc that believes I have RSD!!!!!!!!!!! Finally I found a PM Doc, went to him today and he did an epidural lumbar block, he also ordered the Duragesic patch at 50 mcg's. For the first time in months I am below a 6 on the pain scale. I do have a question for anyone that might know the answer. In the last 2 weeks I started having the burning on the instep of my right foot,this is where my RSD started. Anyone have any idea why it took almost 8 years for this awful burning to start?????

Barb,
I'm glad I could help, and CONGRATS on the treatments! As for the change in symptoms - I've had RSD for 8 years now, and have very few of the same symptoms now that I had when it started - it seems that the disease just tends to change (not evolve, really) over time. I started with burning pain in the back of my right knee - now, my symptoms change on a daily basis! Burning, tingling, aches, sharp pains, front of the knee, back of the knee, feet, left leg......sometimes all, sometimes only one or two! I know that's not necessarily helpful, but I would say that it's definitely important to keep your doctor updated on your symptoms - if things are progressing/changing, the doc needs to be aware so that your treatment can be modified if necessary. |
