Hello. I also have RSD and have seen 2 pain mgmt docs with RSD exp that I would recommend. Dr Elborno, who is the Director of pain mgmt out of Hinsdale hospital. He has other offices on his website. And the second is Dr Tubic in Joliet.

If u have questions about either, feel free to PM me.

I didnt have the emg. I was scared it would cause me more problems. I had my appointment with Dr.Lubenow and was glad I got some answers even though they was not what I wanted to hear. He said emg would have been a bad idea because of nerve damage due to my surgery. He changed my meds and told me the nerve blocks I had wasnt enough when I had them. The bad news was he said the swelling and the pain was mine forever( due to the nerve damage). He now wants me to have a tunnel epiderall infusion then therapy to regain some movement in my hand. crps sucks!
