Smile Broadway Baby and all.............

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?????

RSD since 1999 right foot and ankle from fracture of 2 bones, after stepping in a hole at an apartment complex while visiting a hospice patient. Again hunting for a new PMD.

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.
