After being diagnosed a month ago with RSD pain the past two weeks has reached new indescribable levels. I currently take Vicoden ES and Lyrica 75. The Lyrica gave me some relief with the burning for about the first 3 days, however its no longer effective. When the pain is so bad I have no relief from the Vicden. On my "good" days the Vicoden makes the pain tolerable (but "good" days are rare). I knew that the RSD was progressive but, I didn't think it was going to progress this quickly. I go back to the nerve specialist/ pain management this week, thank god! I really hope that there are different meds he can put me on so I can have some relief. I also know that we are going to talk about nerve blocks if both of us were not happy with the results of pain management therapies and PT regimen we tried. I also think that the RSD is already crawling up my leg. It started out lower right leg, ankle and foot but the pain is up to mid thing now. I have no burning in the thigh (yet) just the excruciating pain with tingling.
Has anyone else had this pain escalate so quickly and crawl up the extremity this quickly? It's gone from bad to worse in a matter of a month, and worse to unbearable within the last two weeks.
Wishing everyone a pain free day!
