As far as a good Doc. - I'm not sure there are any around here. We even tried a "CRPS Clinic" that was 3 hours away. On first visit, we told him that Alan could not lay down - He said "no Problem, we can handle that". 4trips later, he said he couldn't help Alan -because he can't lay down - but come back later when he can lay down and maybe he can help then!
New Doc is PM. He put him on Methadone and Lyrica. (Also ordered clonidine patch - which comp denied). Then told him to come back in a month and we would talk about a SCS. We are not ready to go that route yet. The only other thing that has been tried is nerve block which made it worse. We are not sure what to do next! I have tried the RSDSA web site, but I am still learning to negotiate these! Thank You!
